On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

A repetition of a former prophecy against Egypt, just before the desolation of it begun by their own bad conduct, which gradually weakened them and prepared the way for the king of Babylon,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

): Those that uphold Egypt shall fall, and then Egypt must fall of course. Egypt pretended to uphold Jerusalem when that was tottering, but proved a deceitful reed; and now those that pretended to uphold Egypt shall prove no better. Those that deceive others are commonly paid in their own coin; they are themselves deceived.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The power of the king of Egypt was his pride; but that shall be broken, and humbled. Is the multitude of her people her support? These shall fall by the sword, even from the tower of Syene, which is in the utmost corner of the land, from that side of it by which the enemy shall enter.
