This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I will also destroy; God did it by the Babylonians; those proud and impious nations did triumph over the gods of the conquered, and out of contempt of them burnt them or broke them, as is well known; so Sennacherib threatened, 2Ch_32:19 Isa_37:19,24, against the true God, as he did to idol gods.
The idols; dunghill gods, as the words, fitter to be trod under foot than to be decked and respected.
Their images; these nothings, as the word imports; whoever destroyed the image destroyed the god, for it was nothing but an image.
Noph; Memphis, now Grand Cairo, the chief city of the country, the seat of their kings first, of their priests by consequence, and of all their several gods too; but the Chaldeans destroyed the nest and birds too.
A prince; either an Egyptian horn, or independent, or over all Egypt, or that shall have the power, wealth, or honour like a former brave Egyptian king. A fear of consternation and cowardice, that should disable them for counsel and action in their most urgent affairs.
