Ezekiel32:21

21 The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down , they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword.

The powerful, the valiant, whose natural strength of Body was great, and their courage greater, those that were strongest.

For Feats, they did, by which it appeared they might, compared with others, pass for Giants, Mighty Warriours, Conquerors, and Rulers.

The King of Egypt.

Or, rather the Grave, where they lie without strength, as dead Mortals, tho' while they lived, they bore themselves, as if Gods, and immortal.

Either these great ones shall speak to Hophra's helpers, or else these his friends slain in his quarrel, and dead before him, shall speak to him.

To the Grave, See ver. 18. let. d.

Neglected, and forgotten, or remembred with contempt, see ver. 19. let. i.

The Prophet seems in this verse to introduce the next speakers in this Parlee, and bringing them in, gives their character.
