What does Ezekiel 32:17 Mean?

Verse Meaning

Apparently Ezekiel delivered this oracle two weeks after the previous one, on March18 , 585 B.C. [1] The meter of this mourning song is two plus two rather than the three plus two meter of the more common funeral dirge (the qinah meter). Thus while this lament is similar to the one in the preceding oracle ( Ezekiel 32:1-16), it is not exactly the same. Wevers called this the only example of a mourning song in the Old Testament. [2] The distinction between the two types of lament is not great, however.
