Contextual Overview

1 The word of the Lord came to me again. He said, 2 "Son of man, speak for me. Say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: "‘Cry and say, "A terrible day is coming." 3 That day is near! Yes, the Lord 's day for judging is near. It will be a cloudy day, the time for judging the nations. 4 A sword will come against Egypt! People in Ethiopia will shake with fear, when Egypt falls. The army of Babylon will take the Egyptians as prisoners. Egypt's foundations will be torn down. 5 "‘Many people made peace agreements with Egypt. But all those people from Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all Arabia, Libya, and the people of Israel will be destroyed! 6 "‘This is what the Lord says: Those who support Egypt will fall! The pride in her power will end. The people in Egypt will be killed in battle, all the way from Migdol to Aswan. This is what the Lord God said! 7 Egypt will join the other countries that were destroyed. Its cities will be among those that are in ruins. 8 I will start a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers will be destroyed. Then they will know that I am the Lord ! 9 "‘At that time I will send out messengers. They will go in ships to carry the bad news to Ethiopia.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they shall know that I am the Lord,.... The Egyptians shall know the Lord to be the true God, and acknowledge him to be omniscient and omnipotent, that should so exactly foretell their destruction, and accomplish it:

when I have set a fire in Egypt: a war there; the heat of battle, very devouring and consuming, as well as very grievous and terrible, as fire is. The Targum is,

"when I shall give (or set) people that are strong as fire against Egypt;''

the army of the Chaldeans:

and when all her helpers shall be destroyed; her auxiliaries, the neighbouring nations in alliance with them, before mentioned.
