“The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.”
The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt; and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it—the opening of the oracle against Egypt, with God riding upon a cloud to intervene. The shaking of idols and the melting of hearts emphasize the terror inspired by divine presence. This verse begins the comprehensive oracle against Egypt.
