Verse 14. Migdol] Magdolum, a city of Lower Egypt. Noph, Memphis. Tahpanhes, Daphne. See before, chap. xliv. 1, Round about thee.] The Phoenicians, Philistines, Ammonites, Moabites, and Edomites, all prostrated by the arms of the Chaldeans.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The defeat of the Egyptians. (Jer. 46:1-12) Their overthrow after the siege of Tyre. (Jer. 46:13-26) A promise of comfort to the Jews. (Jer 46:27,28)
Jer. 46:1-12 The whole word of God is against those who obey not the gospel of Christ; but it is for those, even of the Gentiles, who tur to Him. The prophecy begins with Egypt. Let them strengthen themselve with all the art and interest they have, yet it shall be all in vain The wounds God inflicts on his enemies, cannot be healed by medicines Power and prosperity soon pass from one to another in this changin world.
Jer. 46:13-28 Those who encroached on others, shall now be themselve encroached on. Egypt is now like a very fair heifer, not accustomed to the yoke of subjection; but destruction comes out of the north: the Chaldeans shall come. Comfort and peace are spoken to the Israel of God, designed to encourage them when the judgments of God were abroa among the nations. He will be with them, and only correct them in measure; and will not punish them with everlasting destruction from his presence __________________________________________________________________
