John Trapp on Isaiah 44:27

Ver. 27. That ſaith to the deep, Be dry] i. e. That will put it into the heart of Cyrus to dry up Euphrates, and ſo to take Babylon: which, (according to ſome) is here called the Deep or Abyſſe, becauſe ſituated in a plain well watred with ſundry rivers, had wealth at will, and many Princes who ran into her, as rivers do into the ſea.

And I will dry up thy rivers] This Baſil expounds of the end of the world.Hexaem. l. 3.
