Ver. 12. And I will make the rivers dry.] The Chaldees shall drink them up; as 2Ki 19:24 or I will dry them up, for a punishment of your vain trust in them, and boasting of them. Ezekiel 29:3 ; Eze 29:9
And sell the land.] Pass it away utterly from you. "The earth is the Lord's"; he is the true proprietary.
