Ezekiel 32:14 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Make their waters deep: the sense literally this, the waters undisturbed shall be clear, the mud settled at the bottom, and the waters above it of good depth. To run like oil; smooth and softly, as oil glides along, which will be when neither men nor cattle disturb the rivers: but figuratively, waters and rivers are people and nations, and those near to, and once disturbed, and put into confusion by Egypt, at whose fall all those troubles shall cease, the people shall settle in quiet state, and affairs shall, like a quieted river, run smoothly and in great peace.

Ezekiel 32:14

14 Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD.
