I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them.
Neither shall the foot of man trouble them anymore, nor the hoofs of beasts - (see note on Ezekiel 29:11). The picture is ideally true, not to be interpreted by the letter. The political ascendency of Egypt was to cease with the Chaldean conquest (Fairbairn). The virtual sense of "I will destroy all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them anymore, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them," is, henceforth Pharaoh must figuratively no longer trouble the waters by man or beast - i:e., no longer was he to flood other peoples with his overwhelming forces.
