43:11 And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, [and deliver] {l} such [as are] for death to death; and such [as are] for captivity to captivity; and such [as are] for the sword to the sword.
(l) Everyone will be slain by the means that God has appointed, Jer 15:2.
43:8-13 God can find his people wherever they are. The Spirit of prophecy was not confined to the land of Israel. It is foretold that Nebuchadnezzar should destroy and carry into captivity many of the Egyptians. Thus God makes one wicked man, or wicked nation, a scourge and plague to another. He will punish those who deceive his professing people, or tempt them to rebellion.
