Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Ezekiel 30:16
And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph [shall have] distresses daily.
16. rent asunder ] i.e. broken through by armed assault, cf. Eze 26:10 (last words).
have distresses daily ] distresses (or adversaries) in the day-time; cf. Zep 2:4, “they shall drive out Ashdod at noonday” (Jer 15:8). The construction is unnatural, and the text may be in some confusion. LXX. reads differently.

Distresses: being the chief city where king and councils sat, whence orders should be given, whither all intelligences were brought, all should be so bad abroad, that nothing but fears and distresses fill their ears, mouths, and hearts, beside the wants that would increase daily on them.

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. Abendana interprets it of their unfortunate day, their star being unlucky.

Eze 30:16. This fire is explained at verse 8 where it is shown to refer to the upheaval that will be raised by the Babylonians. When it is started the people of these cities will have great pain which means they will be terrified by the presence of the invading forces that will be laying waste their strongest cities.
