Verse 6
And I will also water with thy blood the land wherewith thou swimmest ,.... Where he resided, over which he ruled; alluding to his being compared to a fish, a whale, or a crocodile; and which land abounded with all good things, and he with them; instead of being watered with the waters of the Nile, by which it became fruitful, it should now be flooded with the blood of his army:
even to the mountains ; an hyperbolical expression, signifying the vast quantity of blood that should be shed; see the like in Revelation 14:20 ,
and the rivers shall be full of them ; of the carcasses of his army, and of the blood of them; they should lie about everywhere, on mountains and valleys, on the land and in the rivers; and which should now be turned into blood, as the rivers of Egypt of old were; and which figure is used to express the destruction of the antichristian states; see Exodus 7:20 .
