water: Exodus 7:17, Isaiah 34:3, Isaiah 34:7, Revelation 14:20, Revelation 16:6

the land: Egypt, so called because interspersed by numerous canals, and overflowed annually by the Nile.

wherein thou swimmest: or, of thy swimming

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And I will also water with thy blood the land wherewith thou swimmest,.... Where he resided, over which he ruled; alluding to his being compared to a fish, a whale, or a crocodile; and which land abounded with all good things, and he with them; instead of being watered with the waters of the Nile, by which it became fruitful, it should now be flooded with the blood of his army:

even to the mountains; an hyperbolical expression, signifying the vast quantity of blood that should be shed; see the like in Revelation 14:20:

and the rivers shall be full of them; of the carcasses of his army, and of the blood of them; they should lie about everywhere, on mountains and valleys, on the land and in the rivers; and which should now be turned into blood, as the rivers of Egypt of old were; and which figure is used to express the destruction of the antichristian states; see Exodus 7:20.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 32:6. The land wherein thou swimmest — Egypt; so called, because intersected with canals, and overflowed annually by the Nile.
