Gill's Notes on the Bible
I will also vex the hearts of many people,.... With anger and grief, with fear and dread, with consternation and amazement:
when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations; or, "thy breach" b; the news of it, the tidings of their destruction; which by one means or another should come to their ears, and fill them with concern and great anxiety of mind, so rich and powerful a kingdom being subdued, and the king of Babylon made so great thereby, and fearing they fall a prey unto him also. The Targum renders it,
"when I shall bring the broken of thy war;''
that is, the soldiers that should be wounded in battle, their limbs broke, and they taken captive, and brought among the nations, dismal spectacles to look at; and which should be brought
into countries, which thou hast not known; at a distance from Egypt, and which had no commerce nor communication with them, nor were their friends and allies; yet as their destruction would reach their ears, so it would affect their hearts, and fill them with vexation and grief; not so much on account of Egypt, as the growing power of Nebuchadnezzar, and the danger they were in of falling into his hands.
b שברך "fractionem tuam", Piscator, Cocceius, Starckius.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
When I shall bring thy destruction - i. e., the news of thy destruction. The phenomena here mentioned are the accompaniments of “the day of the Lord” Joel 2:10; Luke 21:25 or the day of judgment. The fall of Pharaoh represents the fall of the world-power before the sovereignty of God.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 32:9. I will also vex the hearts — Even the remote nations, who had no connexion with thee, shall be amazed at the judgments which have fallen upon thee.
