Charles Ellicott Commentary Zechariah 10:11

"And he will pass through the sea of affliction, and will smite the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up; and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart." — Zechariah 10:11 (ASV)

He.—That is, God.

The sea with affliction. —Better, the sea [where is] affliction, or distress; unless, with Ewald, we read “sea of affliction.” On the construction in the Hebrew, see my Student ’ s Commentary, pp. 95, 44.
