SCRIPTURE

"And I will set a fire in Egypt: Sin shall be in great anguish, and No shall be broken up; and Memphis [shall have] adversaries in the day-time." — Ezekiel 30:16 (ASV)

And I will set fire in Egypt Kindle a war there, which shall consume it; see (Ezekiel 30:8).

Sin shall have great pain as a woman in travail, seeing its destruction is just at hand; the same with Pelusium, as before.

and No shall be rent asunder the walls of it shall be broken down by the enemy, or a breach shall be made in it, like the breach of waters which were about it; see (Nahum 3:8).

and Noph shall have distresses daily that is, Memphis, as before; enemies shall surround it daily, as the Targum; shall besiege and distress it, until it is taken: or, "in the daytime"; their enemies should not come as thieves in the night, openly in the day. Abendana interprets it of their unfortunate day, their star being unlucky.
