The Pulpit Commentary on Ezekiel 32:9

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

I will also vex the hearts. The words intensify the bitterness of the downfall. The prophet passes out of the region of metaphors into that of facts. The fall of Egypt will cause pity among the nations.

They shall simply be "vexed" in heart, terrified at the thought (Ezekiel 32:10) that the sword which had laid her low was "brandished" also against them.
