This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





These two foregoing verses are a repetition of God’s threats against Pharaoh, and of his promises to assist Nebuchadnezzar in the war, and every thing plain in them.



Will strengthen; give the first strength, and continue it with new supplies, so that with strength from God he shall proceed.



Put my sword in his hand; is strength shall have a weapon suited and proportioned to it; and what will be hard, where God’s sword and his strength are engaged to effect it?



He, Hophra,



shall groan; not only as the stoutest must when nature breaks, but cry out and sigh, or howl, not becoming a brave man.



Before him, king of Babylon,



with the groanings of a deadly wounded man; who hath given him his deadly wound, under which he roars while he hath any strength, and groans when his voice fails him. It speaks sore griefs, and deep sense of them, as Exo_2:24 Jud_2:18 Job_24:12.
