All the bright lights of heaven will I darken over you, And set darkness on your land, Says the Lord Yahweh.” This is not strictly the language of apocalyptic but it is comparative.

Ezekiel 32:1-Nehemiah : . The Dirge over Pharaoh.— A dirge is now sung over Pharaoh, in which he is likened, as before ( Ezekiel 29:3), to a crocodile— brutal and turbulent; but Yahweh will catch him in His net, and hurl his huge dripping carcase over mountain and valley, to be devoured by beasts and birds.

Put thee out; as a torch is extinguished, Isaiah 43:17, so I will put out thy light, and turn thee into darkness. Cover the heaven; either by dark vapours that arise from blood and putrefying carcasses, which darken the heavens; or it is a description of great sorrows, fears, troubles, and perplexities; or else it may intimate particularly the total ruin of the whole kingdom, in which the best, greatest, and noblest parts are; as heaven suppose the government, the sun the king, the moon the... read more

Ezekiel 32:2 . Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh, compose a funeral elegy for Egypt. Send out thy letters to Egypt as Jeremiah wrote to Babylon, and give them a space for repentance.
