The Prophecies Concerning Egypt
Isaiah 19:1
The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt…


The kingdom to which all the three prophecies (chaps. 18, 19, 20) refer is the same, namely, the Egypto-Ethiopian kingdom; but it is so dealt with that chap. 18 refers to the ruling people, chap. 19 to the ruled people, and chap. 20 embraces them both together.

(F. Delitzsch.)
