What does Ezekiel 32:29 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
29. princes--Edom was not only governed by kings, but by subordinate "princes" or "dukes" (Ge 36:40). with their might--notwithstanding their might, they shall be brought down (Is 34:5, 10-17; Jr 49:7, 13-18). lie with the uncircumcised--Though Edom was circumcised, being descended from Isaac, he shall lie with the uncircumcised; much more shall Egypt, who had no hereditary right to circumcision.

Where Agamemnon knows no more Than Irus, he condemned before. Where fair Achilles and Thersites lie, Equally naked, poor, and dry."
