Contextual Overview

¹ On the first day of the twelfth month of the twelfth year, the word of Adonai came to me: ² "Human being, raise a lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt; say to him, ‘You compared yourself to a lion among the nations; In fact, you are more like a crocodile in the lakes. You burst out of your streams, churn the water with your feet and foul their streams.' ³ "So here is what Adonai Elohim says: ‘With many nations assembled, I will spread my net over you, and they will haul you up in my dragnet. ⁴ Then I will throw you on the shore, hurl you into an open field, make all the birds in the air settle on you and let the animals of the whole earth eat their fill of you. ⁵ I will leave your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your rotting carcass. ⁶ I will drench the land in which you swim with your blood, as far as the mountains; the waterways will be full of you. ⁷ When I extinguish you, I will cover the sky and make its stars black; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light. ⁸ All the shining lights in the sky I will darken above you; I will spread darkness over your land,' says Adonai Elohim . ⁹ "‘I will anger many peoples when I bring your destroyed ones in among the nations, into countries you have not known. ¹⁰ I will make many peoples aghast at you; their kings will shudder in horror over you when I brandish my sword before them. On the day of your downfall they will tremble continuously, each man in fear of his life.'

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

And I: To represent the power, rapaciousness, and cruelty of Pharaoh, he had been compared to a fierce young lion, and also to an immense, overgrown sea-monster, or crocodile; and here it is predicted that God would cast a net over him, by which many companies of people should drag him out of his rivers, and cast him into the open field, mountains, valleys, etc., to be devoured by birds and beasts of prey; that is, his ruin would be complete, and attended with terrible miseries to the Egyptians, and afford a large booty to their enemies.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains,.... The remainder of it, left by the birds and beasts of prey, and who might carry it thither; or it intends such of the Egyptians who should flee to the mountains for safety, but should fall by the hands of the enemy there. So the Targum,

"and I will give the flesh of thy slain upon the mountains.''

And fill the valleys with thy height; his huge army, and with which he prided and lifted up himself, and thought himself safe in; which should fall in such great numbers as to cover the plains and valleys where the battle was fought. Jarchi observes, that the word for "height" has with some the signification of "worms"; and so the Syriac version renders it, "and the valleys shall be filled with thy worms"; bred in the carcasses of the slain: and so the Vulgate Latin version, "with corrupt matter"; such as issues out of putrefied wounds. The Targum very rightly paraphrases it,

"the valleys shall be filled with the carcasses of thine army.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The prophet passes from the image of the crocodile to that of dead bodies of the slain heaped up on the land. Some render “height,” “foulness.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 32:5. And fill the valleys with thy height. — Some translate, with the worms, which should proceed from the putrefaction of his flesh.
