Sunk Like a Stone

Commentators highlight the imagery of sinking "like a stone" to emphasize the totality and finality of God's judgment. The Egyptian soldiers, weighed down by their heavy bronze armor, sank instantly and irrevocably. This wasn't a prolonged battle but a swift, decisive act of God, demonstrating that His victory over His enemies is absolute and permanent.
