Gill's Notes on the Bible

And I will set fire in Egypt,.... Kindle a war there, which shall consume it; see Ezekiel 30:8:

Sin shall have great pain; as a woman in travail, seeing its destruction is just at hand; the same with Pelusium, as before:

and No shall be rent asunder, the walls of it shall be broken down by the enemy, or a breach shall be made in it, like the breach of waters which were about it; see Nahum 3:8:

and Noph shall have distresses daily: that is, Memphis, as before; enemies shall surround it daily, as the Targum; shall besiege and distress it, until it is taken: or, "in the daytime"; their enemies should not come as thieves in the night, openly in the day. Abendana interprets it of their unfortunate day, their star being unlucky.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 30:16. Noph — Cairo or Kahira; see Ezekiel 30:13.
