From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

From him -From it, from this Egypt, which though fem. as a land, yet as a people may be used as a masc. (compareJeremiah 46:8). Now that Nineveh is trembling before the armies of Cyaxares and Nabopalassar, thou hastenest to Egypt, hoping to rest upon her strength: but thou shalt retrace thy steps, with thy hands clasped upon thy head, disgraced and discarded. Confidences -Those in whom thou confidest. In them -literally, “with respect to them.”
