Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 23:5

5 As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre .

According to this Translation the sence is, All the neighbouring Nations shall be no less terrified at the Tidings of the Destruction of Tyrus, than they were of old upon the Report of God's former and dreadful Judgments upon the Egyptians; of which see Exod. 15▪ 14, 15, 16. Ios. 2. 9, 11. because they shall despair of resisting that Enemy against whom that vast and potent City, which was deemed impregnable, could not defend it self. But the Words are by the Seventy, and other both ancient and later Interpreters, rendred otherwise, and that very agreeably to the Hebrew Text, When the report (to wit, of the Destruction of Tyre) came, or shall come, (which Word is easily understood, as it is above, v. 3. and in other Texts of Scripture before mentioned) to the Egyptians, they shall be sorely pained according to the report of Tyre; their Grief shall be answerable to the Report; as the Report is very dreadful, so their Grief and Anguish shall be very great: or, they shall fear lest they should be destroyed in like manner as Tyrus was destroyed.
