On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

That lieth - Not only at rest, but waiting for prey. My river - My kingdom, power, riches, and forces, all the strength and glory of Egypt. Put hooks - The Allegory is continued.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical

In prosecuting this siege every head was made bald, and every shoulder peeled, with carrying burdens and labouring in the water when they had a strong tide and a strong town to contend with. Egypt, a large kingdom, being divided within itself, is easily conquered; Tyre, a single city, being unanimous, is with difficulty subdued.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

It was a cheap and easy prey. He subdued it with very little difficulty; the blood and treasure expended upon the conquest of it were inconsiderable. But it was a rich prey, and he carried off a great deal from it that was of value.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Verily they have their reward. The conquest of Egypt is spoken of as Nebuchadnezzar's full reward, for that completed his dominion over the then known world in a manner; that was the last of the kingdoms he subdued; when he was master of that he became the head of gold. The mercy God had in store for the house of Israel soon after.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
