Commentary on Ezekiel 29:4

Theological / Devotional

Hooks in thy jaws. Herodotus (ii. 70) describes how the Egyptians caught the Nile crocodiles with baited hooks. God would break the stubborn pride of this boastful monarch.

Fish of thy rivers. Probably representing the Egyptian armies, or Egypt’s allies. Pharaoh was not to perish alone. He would involve others in a common ruin with him.
