27 They shall not lie with the mighty who are fallen of the uncircumcised, who are gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war, and have laid their swords under their heads, and their iniquities are on their bones; for [they were] the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.
All the kings of the nations, all of them, sleep in glory, everyone in his own house. But you are cast forth away from your tomb like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain, who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit; as a dead body trodden under foot.

He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, Like oil into his bones.

Though the wicked spring up as the grass, And all the evil-doers flourish, They will be destroyed forever.
For, behold, your enemies, Yahweh, For, behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evil-doers will be scattered.
No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and their righteousness which is of me, says Yahweh.
The soul who sins, he shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him.

The two prophecies of this chapter are much of the same length.
Eze 32:1-16
Here,
Eze 32:17-32
