Ezekiel 19

Ezekiel 19:1

A serpent - Egypt is now like an heifer that makes a great bellowing, but the time shall come when she shall make a lesser noise like the hissing of a serpent. With axes - For the Chaldeans shall come with an army, armed with battle - axes, as if they came to fell wood in a forest.

Ezekiel 19:4

Tho’ - Tho’ it seem impenetrable.

Ezekiel 19:11

Before - In the time of the Philistines prosperity.

Ezekiel 19:14

The day - Which God hath set, and appointed for their ruin. Caphtor - Tyre and Sidon were neighbours to the Philistines, and so were often called to their help. The Philistines and Caphtorim were related, for their first progenitors, Philistim and Caphtorim, were both the sons of Mizriam the son of Ham, one of the sons of Noah.
