Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 32:10

10 Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life , in the day of thy fall.

And mighty people too.

Astonisht and puzzel'd not knowing what resolutions to take, what advices to follow, or what to do.

Who usually are, and in reason should be undaunted, and discovers no signs of fear, shall discover mighty disorders of fear and doubt, both for Egypt, and themselves.

Vid. chap. 27. ver. 35. let, e. f.

Or make my sword pass with such speed, as if it did fly along their borders, or hover near them, and so threaten them.

Be greatly afraid, lest Nebuchadnezzar, who here is Gods Sword, should smite them.

Every one of the Kings, whose Kingdoms are near to Egypt, and by whose Borders the Babylonish Army must pass in their marches.

They should be solicitous, not for the outmost parts of their Kingdoms, or for their Subjects, but for their own life.

When they shall hear of Hophra beaten, taken, imprisoned, his Kingdom taken from him, and he dead by a shameful death, and all his people slain, captivated, spoiled, or fled.
