Contextual Overview

1 The Word of the Lord came to me saying, 2 "Son of man, speak in My name and say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: "Cry in a loud voice, ‘It is bad for that day!' 3 For the day is near. The day of the Lord is near. It will be a day of clouds, a time of trouble for the nations. 4 A sword will come against Egypt, and Ethiopia will be very troubled. When the people are killed in Egypt, her riches will be taken away, and her country destroyed. 5 Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all of Arabia, Libya, and the people of Israel living there, all who have an agreement with Egypt will be killed by the sword."'" 6 ‘The Lord says, "Those who help Egypt will be killed in battle. The pride of her power will come down. From Migdol to Syene they will be killed by the sword," says the Lord God. 7 "They will be a waste among the lands that are laid waste. And her cities will be among the destroyed cities. 8 Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I start a fire in Egypt and all those who help her are destroyed. 9 On that day I will send men in ships to bring fear to Ethiopians who think they are safe. They will be troubled and afraid as when Egypt is destroyed, for their day is coming!" 10 The Lord God says, "I will put an end to Egypt's riches by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

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.
