Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - The paper reeds by the brooks, etc.; rather, the meadows on the river, along the banks of the river, and every seed-plot by the river. The banks of the Nile were partly grass-land (Genesis 41:2, 18), partly cultivated in grain or vegetables (Herod., 2:14), in either case producing the most luxuriant crops. All, however, depended on the inundation, and if that failed, or so far as it failed, the results predicted by the prophet would happen.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) The paper reeds by the brooks.--Better, the meadows by the Nile. And so in the other clauses, the Hebrew word for "brooks" being used specifically for that river. For "shall wither and be driven away," read, shall dry up and vanish. The valley of the Nile is to become as parched and barren as the desert on either side of it.
