And I will set fire in Egypt,.... Kindle a war there, which shall consume it; see Eze 30:8:Sin shall have great pain; as a woman in travail, seeing its destruction is just at hand; the same with Pelusium, as before:and No shall be rent asunder, the walls of it shall be broken down by the enemy, or a breach shall be made in it, like the breach of waters which were about it; see Na 3:8:and Noph shall have distresses daily: that is, Memphis, as before; enemies shall surround it daily, as the Targum; shall besiege and distress it, until it is taken: or, "in the daytime"; their enemies should not come as thieves in the night, openly in the day.
