에스겔 31:10-13 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 31:10-18

We have seen the king of Egypt resembling the king of Assyria in pomp, and power, and prosperity, how like he was to him in his greatness; now here we see, I. How he does likewise resemble him in his pride, Ezek. 31:10. For, as face answers to face in a glass, so does one corrupt carnal heart to another; and the same temptations of a prosperous state by which some are overcome are fatal to many others too. ?Thou, O king of Egypt! hast lifted up thyself in height, hast been proud of thy wealth... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 31:10

Therefore thus saith the Lord God ,.... Having described the greatness of the Assyrian monarch; now follows the account of his fall, and the cause of it, pride: because thou hast lifted up thyself in height ; this is either an address to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who, though he did not rise up so high as the Assyrian monarch in glory and grandeur; yet he lifted up himself, and thought himself superior to any; which reason he must be brought down: or the words are directed to the Assyrian... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 31:11

I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the Heathen ,.... Or, into the hand of the mightiest of the nations F15 ביד אל גויים "in manum fortissimi gentium", Pagninus, Junius & Tremellius, Polanus; "potentissimi", Piscator. ; the mightiest prince among them. Some understand this of Arbaces the Mede, by whom Sardanapalus had been defeated long before this time: others of Merodachbaladan king Babylon, by whom Esarhaddon the Assyrian monarch was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 31:12

And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off ,.... Cut off the boughs and branches of this cedar, and cut him down to the ground; that is, utterly destroyed him, his empire and monarchy: these "strangers" were the Medes, who lived in a country distant from Assyria; and "the terrible of the nations", the cruel and merciless Chaldeans, the soldiers of the king of Babylon's army; see Ezekiel 30:11 , and have left him upon the mountains , like a tree cut down there, and its... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 31:13

Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain ,.... Or, "on his fall" F19 על מפלתו "super prolapse ejus", Cocceius; "super cadivum truncum ejus", Junius & Tremellius. ; the fall of this tree: and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches as when a tree is cut down, and its lopped off branches and boughs lie here and there, either the birds and beasts that before dwelt in it or under it, though for a while frightened away, return unto it; or others come:... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 31:11

The mighty one of the heathen - Nebuchadnezzar. It is worthy of notice, that Nebuchadnezzar, in the first year of his reign, rendered himself master of Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian empire. See Sedar Olam. This happened about twenty years before Ezekiel delivered this prophecy; on this account, Ashshur, Ezekiel 31:3 , may relate to the Assyrians, to whom it is possible the prophet here compares the Egyptians. But see the note on Ezekiel 31:3 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 31:13

Upon his ruin shall all the fowls - The fall of Egypt is likened to the fall of a great tree; and as the fowls and beasts sheltered under its branches before, Ezekiel 31:6 , so they now feed upon its ruins. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 31:1-18

A terrible perdition. Precious lemons can be learnt from God's treatment of others. As in others' conduct we may find a mirror of our own, so in others' chastisement we may find a reflected image of our own deserts. The principles on which God acts are these of eternal immutability. Therefore we may learn with certainty what will sooner or later happen. On the part of God, it is an act of genuine kindness that he holds up the perdition of one to deter others from sin. Thus he would turn... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 31:10-11

Because thou hast lifted up thyself . The second and third persons are curiously mixed; probably the former was in the nature of a warning addressed to the King of Egypt, while the latter continues the parable of the history of Assyria. For boughs read clouds , as in Ezekiel 31:3 . Ezekiel writes as with the feeling which led Solon to note that the loftiest trees are those which are most exposed to the strokes of the thunderbolts of Zeus (Herod; Ezekiel 7:10 ). The Assyrian's heart... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 31:10-13

The penalty of pride. The description of Assyria's power and glory is introduced by the prophet in order to give point to the account now given of that nation's tragic fate. The more majestic the cedar, the more awful its downfall, and the more affecting the desolation thus wrought. For the warning of Egypt the prophet brings to memory the fate of one of the mightiest and most famous of the kingdoms of the East. I. THE OFFENSE . This lay, not in the greatness and the might of the... read more
