Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 32:7

_ _ put thee out — extinguish thy light (Job 18:5). Pharaoh is represented as a bright star, at the extinguishing of whose light in the political sky the whole heavenly host is shrouded in sympathetic darkness. Here, too, as in Ezekiel 32:6, there is an allusion to the supernatural darkness sent formerly (Exodus 10:21-23). The heavenly bodies are often made images of earthly dynasties (Isaiah 13:10; Matthew 24:29).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 32:1-16.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 32:7

Put thee out — As a torch is extinguished. Cover the sun — Probably some unusual darkness was seen in the heavens, and on the earth, about that time.
