Ezekiel 29:9

And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste ,.... Men few or none being left in it, to till it, nor cattle found upon it:

and they shall know that I am the Lord ; by these judgments executed upon them, now foretold; and which when come to pass, they will be obliged to acknowledge the omniscience and omnipotence of Jehovah:

because thou hast said, the river is mine, and I have made it ; See Gill on Ezekiel 29:3 ; this insolent expression was highly resented by the Lord, as appears by the repetition of it. The Targum is here, as before,

"the kingdom is mine, and I have subdued it;'

but, notwithstanding this vaunt, he could not keep it.
