Commentary

Matthew Henry on Ezekiel 30:1-19

The prophecy of the destruction of Egypt is here very full and particular, as well as, in the general, very frightful. What can protect a provoking people when the righteous God comes forth to contend with them? I. It shall be a very lamentable destruction, and such as shall occasion great sorrow (Eze 30:2, Eze 30:3): "Howl you; you may justly shriek now that it is coming, for you will be made to shriek and make hideous outcries when it comes.

It is the day of the Lord, the day in which he will manifest himself as a God o…

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 30:16

distresses daily--MAURER translates, "enemies during the day," that is, open enemies who do not wait for the covert of night to make their attacks (compare Jer 6:4; Jer 15:8). However, the Hebrew, though rarely, is sometimes rendered (see Psa 13:2) as in English Version.

Adam Clarke on Ezekiel 30:16

Noph - Cairo or Kahira; see Eze 30:13.

John Gill on Ezekiel 30:16

And I will set fire in Egypt,.... Kindle a war there, which shall consume it; see Ezekiel 30:8, Sin shall have great pain; as a woman in travail, seeing its destruction is just at hand; the same with Pelusium, as before: and No shall be rent asunder, the walls of it shall be broken down by the enemy, or a breach shall be made in it, like the breach of waters which were about it; see Nahum 3:8, and Noph shall have distresses daily: that is, Memphis, as before; enemies shall surround it daily, as the Targum; shall besiege and distress it, until it is taken: or, "in the daytime"; their enemies should not come as thieves in the night, openly in the day. Abendana interprets it of their unfortu…
