Contextual Overview
17 And it happened in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth of the month, the Word of Jehovah was to me, saying, 18 Son of man, wail over the host of Egypt, and bring it down, her and the daughters of the majestic nations, to the earth's lowest parts, with those going down to the Pit. 19 Than whom are you more lovely? Go down and be laid with the uncircumcised. 20 They shall fall in the midst of the slain of the sword. She is given to the sword; they draw her and all her multitudes. 21 The strong of the mighty shall speak to him from the midst of Sheol, they went with his helpers; they, the uncircumcised, lie slain by the sword. 22 There is Assyria and all her assembly. All around him are his graves, all of them are slain, fallen by the sword; 23 of whom are given her graves in the recesses of the Pit, and her assembly is all around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, because they gave terror in the land of the living. 24 There is Elam and all her multitude around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who went down uncircumcised into the earth's lowest parts, who gave their terror in the land ofthe living. Yet they bore their shame withthose going down to the Pit. 25 In the midst of the slain they have put a bed for her, with all her multitude. Her graves are all around him, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword. Though their terror was given in the land of the living, yet they have bornetheir shame with those going down to the Pit; he is put among the slain. 26 There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude. All around him are her graves, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they gave their terror in the land of the living.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Whom dost thou pass in beauty?.... This question the prophet is bid to put to Egypt; what nation is there, or has been, that thou excellest in wisdom, in riches, or in strength, in the multitude of subjects, or extent of dominions, that thou thinkest thyself secure from destruction? look over other kingdoms and states mightier than thou, or at least equal to thee, and see how they are brought to ruin, and expect that this will quickly be thy case:
go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised; go down to the grave, and take thy place, and lie there among the wicked and most profligate of mankind, and such as might be most despised by the Egyptians, since they used circumcision. The Targum is,
"go down and sleep with sinners.''
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
whom dost thou pass in beauty? - Thou art not more beautiful than other nations: thou shalt not escape their fate.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 32:19. Whom dost thou pass in beauty? — How little does it signify, whether a mummy be well embalmed, wrapped round with rich stuff, and beautifully painted on the outside, or not. Go down into the tombs, examine the niches, and see whether one dead carcass be preferable to another.
