Ezekiel 30:12 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Make the rivers dry — i.e., the canals of Egypt, by which the land was irrigated, and on which its fertility depended. It may also include the comparative drying, the lessening of the inundation of the Nile, which occurred from time to time, and was the cause of the various famines in Egypt mentioned in Scripture.

Ezekiel 30:12

12 And I will make the rivers dry,d and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken it.
