Ezekiel 32:13

Ezekiel 32:13

11 ^a‘For thus says the Lord God: “The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon you.

12 By the swords of the mighty warriors, all of them ^athe most terrible of the nations, I will cause your multitude to fall.
^b“They shall plunder the pomp of Egypt,
And all its multitude shall be destroyed.

13 Also I will destroy all its animals
From beside its great waters;
^aThe foot of man shall muddy them no more,
Nor shall the hooves of animals muddy them.

14 Then I will make their waters¹ clear,
And make their rivers run like oil,”
Says the Lord God.

15 “When I make the land of Egypt desolate,
And the country is destitute of all that once filled it,
When I strike all who dwell in it,
^aThen they shall know that I am the Lord.

(See on Ezekiel 29:11). The picture is ideally true, not to be interpreted by the letter. The political ascendency of Egypt was to cease with the Chaldean conquest [FAIRBAIRN]. Henceforth Pharaoh must figuratively no longer trouble the waters by man or beast, that is, no longer was he to flood other peoples with his overwhelming forces.
