Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

This prophecy concludes and completes the burden of Egypt, and leaves it and all its multitude in the pit of destruction. We are here invited to attend the funeral of that once flourishing kingdom, to lament its fall, and to take a view of those who attend it to the grave and accompany it in the grave. This dead corpse of a kingdom is here brought to the grave.
