\\INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL 32\\
This chapter contains two more prophecies concerning the destruction of Egypt. The date of the first is given, \\#Eze 22:1\\, in which the king of Egypt is compared to a large fish taken in a net, and brought to land, and left on it, to be the prey of the fowls of the air and beasts of the field, \\#Eze 32:2-4\\, and the ruin of that kingdom is further amplified by the casting of it on the mountains and valleys; by the land flowing with its blood; by the darkness of the heavens; by the vexation in the hearts of many people; and by the amazement of kings and nations, \\#Eze 32:5-10\\, the means and instruments of all which will be the king of Babylon and his army, \\#Eze 32:11,12\\, the devastation made by him, which would be such as would cause lamentation in other nations, is described, \\#Eze 32:13-16\\, then follows the other prophecy, whose date is given, \\#Eze 32:17\\, the prophet is bid to lament the fall of Egypt, which is represented under the funeral of a corpse, \\#Eze 32:18-20\\, saluted by those gone down to the grave before, or were become desolate; which are mentioned, to assure Egypt of its destruction, \\#Eze 32:21\\ as the Assyrian empire, and all its provinces, \\#Eze 32:22,23\\, the Persians and Medes, with all their dominions, \\#Eze 32:24,25\\, the posterity of Meshech and Tubal, or the Scythians, those warlike people, \\#Eze 32:26-28\\, the Edomites, the princes of the north, and all the Zidonians, \\#Eze 32:29,30\\ which would be a comfort, though a poor one to the king of Egypt and his subjects, to have such company with them, \\#Eze 32:31,32\\.
