Contextual Overview

¹ This is another message that came to me from the Lord : ² "Son of man, prophesy and give this message from the Sovereign Lord : "Weep and wail for that day, ³ for the terrible day is almost here— the day of the Lord ! It is a day of clouds and gloom, a day of despair for the nations. ⁴ A sword will come against Egypt, and those who are slaughtered will cover the ground. Its wealth will be carried away and its foundations destroyed. The land of Ethiopia will be ravished. ⁵ Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, all Arabia, and all their other allies will be destroyed in that war. ⁶ "For this is what the Lord says: All of Egypt's allies will fall, and the pride of her power will end. From Migdol to Aswan they will be slaughtered by the sword, says the Sovereign Lord . ⁷ Egypt will be desolate, surrounded by desolate nations, and its cities will be in ruins, surrounded by other ruined cities. ⁸ And the people of Egypt will know that I am the Lord when I have set Egypt on fire and destroyed all their allies. ⁹ At that time I will send swift messengers in ships to terrify the complacent Ethiopians. Great panic will come upon them on that day of Egypt's certain destruction. Watch for it! It is sure to come! ¹⁰ "For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: By the power of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, I will destroy the hordes of Egypt.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And I will set fire in Egypt,.... Kindle a war there, which shall consume it; see Ezekiel 30:8:

Sin shall have great pain; as a woman in travail, seeing its destruction is just at hand; the same with Pelusium, as before:

and No shall be rent asunder, the walls of it shall be broken down by the enemy, or a breach shall be made in it, like the breach of waters which were about it; see Nahum 3:8:

and Noph shall have distresses daily: that is, Memphis, as before; enemies shall surround it daily, as the Targum; shall besiege and distress it, until it is taken: or, "in the daytime"; their enemies should not come as thieves in the night, openly in the day. Abendana interprets it of their unfortunate day, their star being unlucky.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 30:16. Noph — Cairo or Kahira; see Ezekiel 30:13.
