エゼキエル書 29:15 JC

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 29:1-16

1-16 Worldly, carnal minds pride themselves in their property, forgetting that whatever we have, we received it from God, and should use it for God. Why, then, do we boast? Self is the great idol which all the world worships, in contempt of God and his sovereignty. God can force men out of that in which they are most secure and easy. Such a one, and all that cleave to him, shall perish together. Thus end men's pride, presumption, and carnal security. The Lord is against those who do harm to his... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 29:1-16

The Destruction of Pharaoh's Power and the Subsequent Restoration of Egypt v. 1. In the tenth year, namely, after Jehoiachin had been deposed and led away into captivity, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, v. 2. Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, in a gesture which signified stern reproof and opposition on the part of the Lord, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt, the country being guilty with its... read more

3. Egypt (Ch. 29–32)Ezekiel 29:1. In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], on the twelfth of the month, came the word of Jehovah to me, saying, 2Son of man, Set thy face upon [against] 3Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and prophesy upon him, and upon all Egypt! Speak and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I [come] upon thee, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his streams, who saith, To 4me [belongs] my stream, and I, I have made myself. And I give rings in thy... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 29:1-21

Ezekiel then uttered the doom of one. Egypt had been the principal foe of the people of God, and against her were uttered seven prophecies, which are placed here in an order of purpose rather than in the order of delivery. Again the prophet constantly insisted that the purpose of judgment was to make Jehovah known. The first prophecy was against Pharaoh and all Egypt. The sin of Pharaoh was inclusively and poetically described pride, which claimed the river as his own creation. This... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 29:1-16

The First Oracle Against Egypt (Ezekiel 29:1-16 ). In this oracle Egypt is likened to a monster crocodile which Yahweh will hunt and dispose of (2-5), because of Pharaoh’s pretensions (Ezekiel 29:3), and then to a staff on which those who lean will falter (6-7). And then He prophesies the future destruction and weakness of Egypt. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 29:1-21

The Oracles Against Egypt (Ezekiel 29:1 to Ezekiel 32:32 ). This section of the book is composed of seven oracles issued against Egypt. The fact that there are seven is probably deliberate in order to emphasise the divine completeness of the condemnation, for throughout the Near East seven was the number of divine perfection. Egypt was the great power to the south, as Assyria, Babylon and Persia were successively to the north. Except in very weak times, she had always seen the land of Canaan... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 29:13-15

“For thus says the Lord Yahweh, At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples where they have been scattered, and I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin, and they will be there a base kingdom. It will be the basest of the kingdoms, neither will it any more lift itself above the nations. And I will diminish them that they will no more rule over the nations.” Many of the Egyptians who... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 29:1-16

Ezekiel 29-32. Oracle against Egypt.— Next and last to be denounced is Egypt, the great rival of Babylon, and consequently the opponent of Yahweh’ s purpose. The separate oracles were written either not long before ( Ezekiel 29:1) or not long after ( Ezekiel 32:1) the fall of Jerusalem. An Egyptian army marched to the relief of the city during the siege ( Jeremiah 37:5); probably Ezekiel 29:6 is a warning of the futility of this attempt, while Ezekiel 30:21 may definitely refer to its repulse... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 29:15

The basest; the most abject, debased, and most underling. It is likely the kings to whom Egypt was tributary kept them lowest, as knowing how dangerous that kingdom might be, as it recovered its ancient greatness; and the word seems to intimate this, for it is more than the kingdoms it shall be depressed. Neither shall it exalt itself; its masters would so watch and check it. I will diminish them; beside the hard and cruel usages of the Persian kings, which might be unjust enough, God’s most... read more

THE FIRST OF FOUR CHAPTERS DIRECTED AGAINST EGYPT (Chap. 29)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—“Pharaoh, a monarch with whom the Hebrews were frequently in contact, is represented as vaunting in the security of his position, when the prophet is commissioned to announce the Divine interposition to effect the desolation of his country throughout its whole extent (Ezekiel 29:1-12). Though after the lapse of forty years the Egyptian people were to be restored to their country, the kingdom was never to emerge from... read more
