Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

46:13-28 Those who encroached on others, shall now be themselves 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 abroad 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.

Psalm 18:14 He sent out His arrows, and scattered them, And lightning flashes in abundance, and routed them.

Psalm 18:39 For You have girded me with strength for battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

Psalm 68:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. A Song. Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered, And let those who hate Him flee before Him.

Psalm 68:2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish before God.

Isaiah 66:15 For behold, the LORD will come in fire And His chariots like the whirlwind, To render His anger with fury, And His rebuke with flames of fire.

Isaiah 66:16 For the LORD will execute judgment by fire And by His sword on all flesh, And those slain by the LORD will be many.
