Contextual Overview

1In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day, the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2"Son of man, take up a lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him: 'You are like a lion among the nations; you are like a monster in the seas. You thrash about in your rivers, churning up the waters with your feet and muddying the streams.' 3This is what the Lord GOD says: 'I will spread My net over you with a company of many peoples, and they will draw you up in My net. 4I will abandon you on the land and hurl you into the open field. I will cause all the birds of the air to settle upon you and all the beasts of the earth to eat their fill of you. 5I will put your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains. 6I will drench the land with the flow of your blood, all the way to the mountains-the ravines will be filled. 7When I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light. 8All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you, and I will bring darkness upon your land,' declares the Lord GOD. 9'I will trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring about your destruction among the nations, in countries you do not know. 10I will cause many peoples to be appalled over you, and their kings will shudder with horror because of you when I brandish My sword before them. On the day of your downfall each of them will tremble every moment for his life.'

Gill's Notes on the Bible

I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters,.... Which used to graze beside the river Nile, and the canal, of it, in the plains and meadows, valley, and hills, which these ran by; meaning both horses, which Egypt abounded with, and would be good booty for the Chaldeans, and oxen and sheep, which they would kill for present use, or drive away for future service:

neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them; there should so few remain of men and beasts, that the waters of the rivers would not be disturbed, either by men passing over them, and doing any business upon them, or by beasts drinking at them.
