And they will be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities will be in the midst of the cities which are wasted.

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 30:1-26

The neighbours and allies will be involved in her ruin, which is to be effected by Nebuchadrezzar and his “ terrible” army ( Ezekiel 30:1-2 Kings :).

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 30:1-26

Ezekiel 30:5 . Ethiopia, Libya, and Lydia or Ludd.

Ezekiel 30:13 . I will cause images to cease out of Noph. The vengeance should begin on their images or idol gods; and after that, as foretold by another prophet, the sceptre of... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 30:8

8. The day of the Lord is near The day when accounts shall be settled and punishment or reward meted out to the nations; a day of darkness to the wicked and rebellious, a day of triumph to the righteous (Ezekiel 7:7; Amos 5:8; Jeremiah 27:0).
