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.'
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
and cause: The neighbouring countries shall be in a state of quietness, like a river that smoothly glides along, having no longer a political crocodile to foul their waters, or to disturb their peace.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then will l make their waters deep,.... Either the water, of Egypt literally, the waters of the Nile: no canals being cut from it, to carry the water to the several parts of the land, the land being depopulated, and no business done: or, figuratively, other nations, compared to waters for their numbers, who before had been disturbed by the Egyptians; but now they being destroyed, these would be at ease, like troubled waters, which subside, and: become deep and clear, when there is none to trouble them:
and cause their, rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord God; very slowly, as if, they were mourning the unhappy condition of the land; or smoothly, clearly, undisturbed, as before. The Targum is,
"there will I cause the people to rest, and I will lead their kings quietly, saith the Lord God.''
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A promise of a return of God’s favor. This concerns not the restoration of Egypt’s original power, but the establishment of the Divine Ruler in the place of a pagan God-opposing power.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 32:14. Cause their rivers to run like oil — Bring the whole state into quietness, there being no longer a political hippopotamus to foul the waters-to disturb the peace of the country.
