John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 32:10

Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee ,.... That so potent a state, and such a flourishing kingdom, should at once be so easily subdued and conquered: and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee; because of her destruction, lest their turn should be next; so the kings of the earth will be afraid when God's judgments are executed on mystical Egypt; see Revelation 18:9 , when I shall brandish my sword before them ; the sword of the king of Babylon after mentioned, called the... read more

I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters ,.... Which used to graze beside the river Nile, and the canal, of it, in the plains and meadows, valley, and hills, which these ran by; meaning both horses, which Egypt abounded with, and would be good booty for the Chaldeans, and oxen and sheep, which they would kill for present use, or drive away for future service: neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them ; there... read more

Then will l make their waters deep ,.... Either the water, of Egypt literally, the waters of the Nile: no canals being cut from it, to carry the water to the several parts of the land, the land being depopulated, and no business done: or, figuratively, other nations, compared to waters for their numbers, who before had been disturbed by the Egyptians; but now they being destroyed, these would be at ease, like troubled waters, which subside, and: become deep and clear, when there is none to... read more

When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate ,.... The cities being demolished, the inhabitants destroyed with the sword, or carried captive: and the country shall be destitute of that whereof it was full ; men and cattle, corn and other fruits of the earth, wealth and riches, pomp and grandeur: when I shall smite all them that dwell therein ; with the sword of the Chaldeans: then shall they know that I am the Lord for God is known in the perfections of his nature, omnipotence,... read more

Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt ,.... Sing a funeral song or dirge, or compose one, to be sung by the mourning women, on account of the vast numbers of the inhabitants of Egypt that shall be slain; for the prophet himself would not mourn, but rejoice, on this occasion; but this is said to show the certainty of the destruction, and the lamentation that would be made on that account: and cast them down, even her and the daughters of the famous nations ; Egypt, and all those... read more
