Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 30:9

9 In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Aethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for lo it cometh.

The day of Gods severe, but just Judgments, and Egypts fatal Desolation.

Such, as having seen, and scaped the Sword, shall tell the dismal news.

By my permission, and providence they shall go, as if sent by me.

Ships, that either carried them over into Pentapolis crossing the River Nilus, or rather going down the River into the Mediterranean, and so to any part of those North parts of Africa, and others by Ship through the Red Sea to Arabia Faelix, which is that Aethiopia, which is here meant, though 'tis possible, in those dayes the African Aethiopia might, as once it did, extend quite to the mouth of the Red Sea, on whose shore their Ancestors must needs first land out of Arabia, whence the Habessines, who are our present Aethiopians, do own their descent. So Messengers by Ships might carry the news to both the Aethiopian, Asian, and African, by the Red Sea.

In much security they had hitherto lived, the most potent, and formidable Neighbour having been their Antient Allie, till the news of so mighty an Enemy at their very Doors.

Apprehensions of Danger, that puzzles their Wisdom, weakens their Courage, makes them in perplexity, both sick, and astonished.

Either like that, which, when their Host was drowned in the Red Sea, seiz'd all Egypt, or rather like this latter fear, which arose from the Mighty havock made by the Chaldaean.

A storm like that certainly cometh against you.
