Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 16. - In that day; or, at that time; i.e. when the Assyrian invasion comes. Shall Egypt be like unto women (comp. Jeremiah 51:30). So Xerxes said of his fighting men at Salamis: "My men have become women" (Herod., 8:88). Because of the shaking of the hand of the Lord (comp. Isaiah 11:15 and Isaiah 30:32). The Egyptians would scarcely recognize Jehovah as the Author of their calamities, but it would none the less be his hand which punished them.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) In that day shall Egypt be like unto "women.--This image of panic, terror, and weakness has been natural in the poetry of all countries (comp. Homer, "Achaean women, not Achaean men"), and appears in its strongest form in Jeremiah 48:41. In such a state, even the land of Judah, once so despised, shall become a source of terror.
