Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
Egypt riseth up like a flood - answer to the question in Jeremiah 46:7.
His waters are moved like the rivers. The rise of the Nile is gentle; but at the mouth it, unlike most riven, is much agitated, owing to the sandbanks impeding its course, and so it rushes into the sea like a cataract.
