Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 32:18

_ _ cast them down — that is, predict that they shall be cast down (so Jeremiah 1:10). The prophet’s word was God’s, and carried with it its own fulfillment.

_ _ daughters of ... nations — that is, the nations with their peoples. Egypt is to share the fate of other ancient nations once famous, now consigned to oblivion: Elam (Ezekiel 32:24), Meshech, etc. (Ezekiel 32:26), Edom (Ezekiel 32:29), Zidon (Ezekiel 32:30).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 32:17-32.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 32:18

Wail — Prepare the funeral ceremonies at the burial of Egypt. The daughters — And celebrate the funerals of other cities and kingdoms that lie buried in their own ruins. The nether parts of the earth — A well known description of the state of the dead. The pit — The Egyptians affected to be buried in the Pyramids, and their kings, and great ones, would be laid by themselves; but Ezekiel provides them their grave among common people, being buried just where they fall.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Ezekiel 32:18

(k) That is, prophecy that they will be cast down: thus the Lord gives his prophets power both to plant and to destroy by his word, read (Jeremiah 1:10).
