Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 46:7-8

Jeremiah 46:7-8. Who is this, &c.— The prophet speaks of Necho, and represents the grand preparations which he made to go to the succour of Carchemish. He flattered himself that nothing was capable of resisting the force of his arms. Jeremiah compares him to the inundations of the Nile, and this figure is very frequent in Scripture: see Isaiah 8:8; Isaiah 17:12-13.Jeremiah 47:2; Jeremiah 47:2. Instead of, are moved, Jer 46:7-8 we may read, Gush out, or overflow; and Jeremiah 46:9. Mount ye... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 46:8

8. Answer to the question in :-. waters . . . moved like the rivers—The rise of the Nile is gentle; but at the mouth it, unlike most rivers, is much agitated, owing to the sandbanks impeding its course, and so it rushes into the sea like a cataract. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 46:7-8

Jeremiah asked who this was who was trying to imitate the Nile River by overwhelming its enemy. Egyptian soldiers evidently thought of themselves as capable of rising in battle-like the Nile River rose during flooding. Pharaoh’s proud and unrealistic intent was to sweep the enemy away (cf. Isaiah 8:7-8). read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 46:1-64

Prophecies Concerning the NationsThe custom of placing in a group, as here, prophecies against heathen nations is illustrated by Isaiah (Jeremiah 13-33), Ezekiel (Jeremiah 25-32), and Amos (Jeremiah 1, 2). For the position of the prophecies at the end of the book as compared with that which they hold in the LXX, see Intro, and on Jeremiah 25:11. We may divide them thus:—(a) Jeremiah 46-49 (mostly of the fourth year of Jehoiakim). This section contains prophe-oies concerning Egypt and five other... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 46:7-8

(7, 8) Who is this that cometh up as a flood? . . .—The Hebrew word for “flood” is used as a proper name almost exclusively (Daniel 12:5-6 being the only exception) for the Nile (e.g., Genesis 41:1-3; Exodus 2:3; Exodus 4:9; Amos 8:8; Amos 9:5), and thus the very form of the question points to the answer that follows. The prophet goes back, as an English poet might have done after the destruction of the Spanish Armada, to the time when all the strength of Egypt had been poured forth in the... read more
