“ Meshech and Tubal are there, with all their hordes. Their graves are all around them. All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, although their terror was once spread in the land of the living.
-
Ezekiel 32:24
“ Elam is there with all her hordes around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword— those who went down to the underworld uncircumcised, who once spread their terror in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit.

Ezekiel 32:29-30
“ Edom is there, her kings and all her princes, who, despite their strength, have been placed among those slain by the sword. They lie down with the uncircumcised, with those who descend to the Pit.All the leaders of the north and all the Sidonians are there. They went down in shame with the slain, despite the terror their strength inspired. They lie down uncircumcised with those slain by the sword. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit.

Nahum 3:1-19
Woe to the city of blood, totally deceitful, full of plunder, never without prey.The crack of the whip and rumble of the wheel, galloping horse and jolting chariot!Charging horseman, flashing sword, shining spear; heaps of slain, mounds of corpses, dead bodies without end— they stumble over their dead.Because of the continual prostitution of the prostitute, the attractive mistress of sorcery, who treats nations and clans like merchandise by her prostitution and sorcery,I am against you. This is the declaration of the LORD of Armies. I will lift your skirts over your face and display your nakedness to nations, your shame to kingdoms.I will throw filth on you and treat you with contempt; I will make a spectacle of you.Then all who see you will recoil from you, saying,“ Nineveh is devastated; who will show sympathy to her?” Where can I find anyone to comfort you?Are you better than Thebes that sat along the Nile with water surrounding her, whose rampart was the sea, the river her wall?Cush and Egypt were her endless source of strength; Put and Libya were among her allies.Yet she became an exile; she went into captivity. Her children were also dashed to pieces at the head of every street. They cast lots for her dignitaries, and all her nobles were bound in chains.You also will become drunk; you will hide. You also will seek refuge from the enemy.All your fortresses are fig trees with figs that ripened first; when shaken, they fall— right into the mouth of the eater!Look, your troops are like women among you; your land’s city gates are wide open to your enemies. Fire will devour the bars of your gates.Draw water for the siege; strengthen your fortresses. Step into the clay and tread the mortar; take hold of the brick-mold!The fire will devour you there; the sword will cut you down. It will devour you like the young locust. Multiply yourselves like the young locust; multiply like the swarming locust!You have made your merchants more numerous than the stars of the sky. The young locust strips the land and flies away.Your court officials are like the swarming locust, and your scribes like clouds of locusts, which settle on the walls on a cold day; when the sun rises, they take off, and no one knows where they are.King of Assyria, your shepherds slumber; your officers sleep. Your people are scattered across the mountains with no one to gather them together.There is no remedy for your injury; your wound is severe. All who hear the news about you will clap their hands because of you, for who has not experienced your constant cruelty?

Nahum 1:7-12
The LORD is good, a stronghold in a day of distress; he cares for those who take refuge in him.But he will completely destroy Nineveh with an overwhelming flood, and he will chase his enemies into darkness.Whatever you plot against the LORD, he will bring it to complete destruction; oppression will not rise up a second time.For they will be consumed like entangled thorns, like the drink of a drunkard and like straw that is fully dry.One has gone out from you, who plots evil against the LORD, and is a wicked counselor.This is what the LORD says: Though they are strong and numerous, they will still be mowed down, and he will pass away. Though I have punished you, I will punish you no longer.

Numbers 24:24
Ships will come from the coast of Kittim; they will carry out raids against Asshur and Eber, but they too will come to destruction.

Isaiah 37:36-38
Then the angel of the LORD went out and struck down one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. When the people got up the next morning, there were all the dead bodies!So King Sennacherib of Assyria broke camp and left. He returned home and lived in Nineveh.One day, while he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword and escaped to the land of Ararat. Then his son Esar-haddon became king in his place.

Psalms 83:8-10
Even Assyria has joined them; they lend support to the sons of Lot. SelahDeal with them as you did with Midian, as you did with Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.They were destroyed at En-dor; they became manure for the ground.

Ezekiel 31:3-18
Think of Assyria, a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches and shady foliage and of lofty height. Its top was among the clouds.The waters caused it to grow; the underground springs made it tall, directing their rivers all around the place where the tree was planted and sending their channels to all the trees of the field.Therefore the cedar became greater in height than all the trees of the field. Its branches multiplied, and its boughs grew long as it spread them out because of the abundant water.All the birds of the sky nested in its branches, and all the animals of the field gave birth beneath its boughs; all the great nations lived in its shade.It was beautiful in its size, in the length of its limbs, for its roots extended to abundant water.The cedars in God’s garden could not eclipse it; the pine trees couldn’t compare with its branches, nor could the plane trees match its boughs. No tree in the garden of God could compare with it in beauty.I made it beautiful with its many limbs, and all the trees of Eden, which were in God’s garden, envied it.“‘ Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: Since it towered high in stature and set its top among the clouds, and it grew proud on account of its height,I determined to hand it over to a ruler of nations; he would surely deal with it. I banished it because of its wickedness.Foreigners, ruthless men from the nations, cut it down and left it lying. Its limbs fell on the mountains and in every valley; its boughs lay broken in all the earth’s ravines. All the peoples of the earth left its shade and abandoned it.All the birds of the sky nested on its fallen trunk, and all the animals of the field were among its boughs.This happened so that no trees planted beside water would become great in height and set their tops among the clouds, and so that no other well-watered trees would reach them in height. For they have all been consigned to death, to the underworld, among the people who descend to the Pit.“‘ This is what the Lord GOD says: I caused grieving on the day the cedar went down to Sheol. I closed off the underground deep because of it: I held back the rivers of the deep, and its abundant water was restrained. I made Lebanon mourn on account of it, and all the trees of the field fainted because of it.I made the nations quake at the sound of its downfall, when I threw it down to Sheol to be with those who descend to the Pit. Then all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all the well-watered trees, were comforted in the underworld.They too descended with it to Sheol, to those slain by the sword. As its allies they had lived in its shade among the nations.“‘ Who then are you like in glory and greatness among Eden’s trees? You also will be brought down to the underworld to be with the trees of Eden. You will lie among the uncircumcised with those slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his hordes. This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.’”

Isaiah 30:33
Indeed! Topheth has been ready for the king for a long time. Its funeral pyre is deep and wide, with plenty of fire and wood. The breath of the LORD, like a torrent of burning sulfur, kindles it.
