That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:
Ver. 27. That saith to the deep, Be dry,] i.e., That will put it into the heart of Cyrus to dry up Euphrates, and so to take Babylon; which, according to some, is here called the deep or abyss, because situated in a plain well watered with various rivers, had wealth at will, and many princes who ran into her, as rivers do into the sea.
And I will dry up thy rivers.] This Basil a expounds of the end of the world.
