Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.
Wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down - i:e., predict that they shalt be cast down: so Jeremiah 1:10, "I have set thee over the nations, to root out, and to pull down," etc. - i:e., to foretell that they shall be rooted out and pulled down, and to effect that they shall be so; because the prophet's word was God's, and carried with it its own fulfillment.
The daughters of the famous nations - i:e., the nations with their peoples. Egypt is to share the fate of other ancient nations once famous, now consigned to oblivion: Elam (Ezekiel 32:24), Meshech, etc. (Ezekiel 32:26), Edom (Ezekiel 32:29), Zidon (Ezekiel 32:30).
