Ezekiel 32:10
Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall. Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.
Ezekiel 32:10 is part of a prophecy against Egypt foretelling its fall, defeat and destruction. It belongs to the prophecy of Egypt's fall and declares Egypt's loss of power and desolation. It says that Egypt will be brought low and abased among the nations. It concerns the certain fall and fate of Pharaoh and his host under God's judgment.
When God brandishes His sword against Egypt, many peoples will be amazed and astonished and their kings will be horribly afraid. In the day of Egypt's fall they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life. The word life in the verse translates the Hebrew nephesh and refers to a person's life, which is threatened when Egypt falls. Egypt's downfall teaches the trembling nations a lesson about God's power and judgment.
