25 In the midst of slain men they putted his bed in all the peoples of him; his sepulchre is in the compass of him. All these were uncircumcised and slain by sword, for they gave dread in the land of living men, and bare their shame with them that go down into the pit; they be set in the midst of slain men. (In the midst of the slain they put her bed with all her peoples; yea, their tombs, or their graves, be all around her. All these were uncircumcised and slain by the sword, for they spread abroad their terror in the land of the living, and bare their shame with those who go down into the pit; they be set in the midst of the slain.)

26 There be Meshech and Tubal, and all the multitude thereof; the sepulchres thereof be in the compass thereof. All these men uncircumcised were slain, and falling down by sword, for they gave their dread in the land of living men. (There be Meshech and Tubal, and all their multitudes; their tombs, or their graves, be all around them. All these uncircumcised men were slain, and fallen by the sword, though they once spread abroad their terror in the land of the living.)

27 And they shall not sleep with strong men, and falling down, and uncircumcised, that went down into hell with their arms, and putted their swords under their heads. And the wickednesses of them were in the bones of them, for they were made the dread of strong men in the land of living men. (And they shall not sleep with the strong men, who be the fallen of the uncircumcised, who went down into Sheol with their weapons, and put their swords under their heads. And their wickednesses were in their bones, though once they were made the terror of the strong in the land of the living.)

25 A bed is made for her among the slain, with all her hordes around her grave. All of them are uncircumcised,(A) killed by the sword. Because their terror had spread in the land of the living, they bear their shame with those who go down to the pit; they are laid among the slain.

26 “Meshek and Tubal(B) are there, with all their hordes around their graves. All of them are uncircumcised, killed by the sword because they spread their terror in the land of the living. 27 But they do not lie with the fallen warriors of old,[a](C) who went down to the realm of the dead with their weapons of war—their swords placed under their heads and their shields[b] resting on their bones—though these warriors also had terrorized the land of the living.
