And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace.
Houses of ... gods - he shall not spare even the temples, such will be his fury. A reproof to the Jews that they betook themselves to Egypt, a land whose own safety depended on helpless idols.
He shall burn them, and carry them away captives - he shall burn the Egyptian idols of wood, and carry to Babylon those of gold and other metals.
He shall array himself with the land ... - Isaiah 49:18. "Thou shalt clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament," has the same metaphor. As a shepherd putteth on his garment. He shall become master of Egypt as speedily and easily as a shepherd, about to pass on with his flock to another place, puts on his garment.
