"I will also vex the hearts of many peoples, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known." — Ezekiel 32:9 (ASV)
Vex the hearts. —The margin, provoke to grief, is better, because it is less ambiguous. “Your destruction” means, the news of your destruction. As is more fully expressed in the following verse, the fall of Egypt should be such a striking instance of Divine judgment as to awaken fear in every nation that hears of the catastrophe.
