Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 32:7-10

Ezekiel 32:7-10. And when I shall put thee out When I shall cast thee down from thy power, and extinguish all thy glory. I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark It is well known that the downfall of states and kingdoms, kings and princes, is often expressed in the Scriptures by these or such like metaphors: see notes on Isaiah 13:10; Isaiah 24:23; Isaiah 30:26.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 32:1-32

The end of Egypt (32:1-32)Again Pharaoh (or Egypt) is likened to the mythological monster of the Nile who will be caught, dragged out of the river and left to rot in the sun. His blood will flow over the land and his carcass will be meat for birds and wild animals (32:1-6; cf. 29:3-5). A terrifying darkness throughout the country will impress upon people that this judgment is the work of the sovereign God (7-8).Neighbouring nations will tremble when they see multitudes of Egyptian people killed... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 32:9-10

Many on-looking peoples would be upset when they observed the destruction and dispersion of the Egyptians (cf. Ezekiel 26:16; Ezekiel 27:35). The kings of other nations would tremble for their own safety when they saw what God would do to Egypt. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 32:1-32

Two Lamentations for Pharaoh and EgyptThis chapter consists of two prophecies, both dated more than a year and a half after the capture of Jerusalem, and separated from each other by a fortnight. In the first Pharaoh is likened, no longer to a young lion, but to a foul river monster, which will be caught, cast on the mountains, and devoured by birds and beasts of prey. At the monster’s end the lights of heaven will be darkened, and the nations will be dismayed (Ezekiel 32:1-10). The allegory is... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 32:9

(9) Vex the hearts.—The margin, provoke to grief, is better, as being less ambiguous. “Thy destruction” means, the news of thy destruction. As is more fully expressed in the following verse, the fall of Egypt should be such a striking instance of Divine judgment as to awaken fear in every nation that should hear of the catastrophe. read more
