Il peso dell'Egitto. Ecco, l'Eterno cavalca su una nuvola veloce e viene in Egitto; E gli idoli dell'Egitto si muoveranno alla Sua presenza, e il cuore dell'Egitto si scioglierà al suo interno.

Rashi on Isaiah
and the idols of Egypt shall quake from before Him They will have no power to save their people from the messengers of the king of Assyria. The prophet presented the retribution of Egypt in this manner, unlike the way he presented it to other nations, because they are accustomed to being punished in this manner. (Exodus 12:12) “And I will pass through the land of Egypt...and upon all the gods of Egypt [will I execute punishment],” and it is customary to frighten a person with a misfortune from which he has already suffered.
