에스겔 30:2-19 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 30:1-19

The prophecy of the destruction of Egypt is here very full and particular, as well as, in the general, very frightful. What can protect a provoking people when the righteous God comes forth to contend with them? I. It shall be a very lamentable destruction, and such as shall occasion great sorrow (Ezek. 30:2, 3): ?Howl you; you may justly shriek now that it is coming, for you will be made to shriek and make hideous outcries when it comes. Cry out, Woe worth the day! or, Ah the day! alas... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 30:2

Son of man, prophesy and say, thus saith the Lord God ,.... Prophesy against Egypt's king and inhabitants, and in the name of the Lord thus speak against them: howl ye ; ye Egyptians, and also ye Ethiopians, and all others after named, which should share in the destruction of Egypt; this is said to give them notice of it, and prepare them for it: woe worth the day ! or, "alas for the day!"

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 30:3

For the day is near ,.... The day of Egypt's destruction, the time fixed for it: even the day of the Lord is near ; the day appointed by him, and in which he would make himself known by the judgments he executed: Kimchi observes, that, the same year this prophecy was delivered, Egypt was given into the hands of the king of Babylon: a cloudy day ; or; "a day of cloud" F5 יום ענן "dies nubis", V. L. Pagniaus, Montanus, Cocceius, Starckius. ; which was seldom seen in Egypt in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 30:4

And the sword shall come upon Egypt ,.... The sword of the Chaldeans shall come upon the Egyptians, by which they should be cut off; it having a commission from the Lord for that purpose: and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt ; Ethiopia being a neighbouring nation to Egypt, shall be in a panic when it shall hear of the sword of the Chaldeans being in Egypt, and of the ravages made by it, of the multitudes slain with it; fearing it will be their turn next... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 30:5

Ethiopia, Lybia, and Lydia ,.... Or, "Cush, Phut, and Lud". Cush and Phut were both sons of Ham, from whom Egypt is sometimes called the land of Ham; and Lud or Ludim was the son of Mizraim, the son of Ham, the common name of Egypt in Scripture, Genesis 10:6 . Cush is by us rendered Ethiopia; and is thought by some to be a part of Arabia, which lay near to Egypt. Phut and Lud are properly enough rendered Lybia and Lydia; and both these, with Ethiopia, are represented as the allies and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 30:6

Thus saith the Lord, they also that uphold Egypt shall fall ,.... That is, by the sword; either their allies and auxiliaries without, that supported the Egyptians with men and money; or their principal people within, their nobles that supported their state with their estates, their counsellors with their wisdom, their soldiers with their valour and courage: and the pride of her power shall come down ; or the power they were proud of, the dominion and grandeur they boasted of; the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 30:7

And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate ,.... Or among them, shall be ranked with them, and be as desolate as they are; as Judea and other countries, ravaged by the same enemy: and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted ; undergo the same fate as they have done, as Jerusalem and others. The cities of Egypt were very numerous; Diodorus Siculus F14 Bibl. l. 1. p. 19. says, that in ancient times Egypt had cities and villages... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 30:8

And they shall know that I am the Lord ,.... The Egyptians shall know the Lord to be the true God, and acknowledge him to be omniscient and omnipotent, that should so exactly foretell their destruction, and accomplish it: when I have set a fire in Egypt : a war there; the heat of battle, very devouring and consuming, as well as very grievous and terrible, as fire is. The Targum is, "when I shall give (or set) people that are strong as fire against Egypt;' the army of the Chaldeans: ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 30:9

In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships ,.... Either by the river Nile, or by the Red sea, to Arabia Felix, which some think is meant by Ethiopia. Cush or Ethiopia was encompassed about with water, so that there was no coming to it but by ships; see Genesis 2:13 , compare with this Isaiah 18:1 , the messengers here were either such who under a divine impulse, or however by the providence of God, were directed to go to Ethiopia, and tell them the news of the destruction of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 30:10

Thus saith the Lord God, I will make the multitude of Egypt to cease ,.... The vast numbers of people that inhabited Egypt; some of its cities were very populous, especially the city No, after mentioned; but now the numbers should be greatly lessened, and the whole land sadly depopulated: or the "noise" F18 את המון "strepitum", Vatablus, Cocceius. , "tumult", and hurry of it; which is very great where there are large numbers of people, and which ceases when they are cut off.
