The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.

The daughter of Egypt shall be put to shame; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.

Ashamed hath been the daughter of Egypt, She hath been given into the hand of the people of the north.

The daughter of Egypt will be put to shame; she will be given up into the hands of the people of the north.

The daughter of Egypt has been confounded, and she has been delivered into the hand of the people of the north.

Pudefacta est filia Aegypti, tradita in manum populi Aquilonis.

He says that Egypt would be ashamed, because it would be brought into the greatest disgrace, for their enemies would treat them reproachfully. By the people of the north he means the Chaldeans, as in many other places; for Babylon was northward of Egypt. he intimates, in short, that the Chaldeans would be proud conquerors, so that they would in a reproachful manner oppress the Egyptians, after having conquered them. It is no wonder that the same thing is often repeated by the Prophet, because the thing was incredible at that time, as we have before said. As then it was difficult to make the Jews believe, that the Chaldeans would become victorious over that nation and land, Jeremiah confirms at large the same thing, for he resolutely struggled with the obstinate unbelief of the people. Let us proceed, --

The daughter - i. e., the inhabitants "of Egypt shall be disgraced."

The hand or the people of the north - The Chaldeans.

The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded,.... Brought to shame before all the nations of the earth, being conquered by the Chaldeans; that is, the kingdom of Egypt, as the Targum; or the inhabitants of it, being subdued and carried captive:
she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north; the Chaldeans, who dwelt northward of Egypt, as is manifest from what follows.
