Ezekiel 32:10 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Many people, and mighty people too. Amazed; astonished and puzzled, not knowing what resolutions to take, what advices to follow, or what to do. Their kings, who usually are, and in reason should be, undaunted, and discover no signs of fear, shall discover mighty disorders of fear and doubt, both for Egypt and themselves. Horribly afraid: see Ezekiel 27:35. Brandish my sword; or, make my sword pass with such speed, as if it did fly along their borders, or hover near them, and so threaten them. They shall tremble; be greatly afraid, lest Nebuchadnezzar, who here is God's sword, should smite them. Every man; every one of the kings, whose kingdoms are near to Egypt, and by whose borders the Babylonish army must pass in their marches. For his own life; they should be solicitous, not for the outmost parts of their kingdoms, or for their subjects, but for their own life. In the day of thy fall; when they shall hear of Hophra beaten, taken, imprisoned, his kingdom taken from him, and he dead by a shameful death, and all his people slain, captivated, spoiled, or fled.

Ezekiel 32:10

10 Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.
