Ezekiel 32:16

This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament her This is the substance of the lamentation, which may be properly used to bewail the calamities which Egypt shall suffer: see note on Ezekiel 32:2. The daughters of the nations shall lament her That is, the people of the neighbouring countries shall use such like words as these when they hear of Egypt's calamities: thus the daughter of Zion and of Babylon signifies the inhabitants of those cities. This verse alludes to the mourning women, whose office it was to lament at funerals.
