And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste, &c.] Men few or none being left in it, to till it, nor cattle found upon it: and they shall know that I am the Lord; by these judgments executed upon them, now foretold; and which when come to pass, they will be obliged to acknowledge the omniscience and omnipotence of Jehovah: because thou hast said, the river is mine, and I have made it; (see Gill on “<262903>Ezekiel 29:3”); this insolent expression was highly resented by the Lord, as appears by the repetition of it. The Targum is here, as before, “the kingdom is mine, and I have subdued it;” but, notwithstanding this vaunt, he could not keep it.
