エゼキエル書 32:4 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 32:1-16

Here, I. The prophet is ordered to take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, Ezek. 32:2. It concerns ministers to be much of a serious spirit, and, in order thereunto, to be frequent in taking up lamentations for the fall and ruin of sinners, as those that have not desired, but dreaded, the woeful day. Note, Ministers that would affect others with the things of God must make it appear that they are themselves affected with the miseries which sinners bring upon themselves by their sins.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 32:4

Then will I leave thee upon the land ,.... Like a fish that is drawn out of the waters with a net or hook, and laid on dry land, and left gasping and expiring, where it cannot long live: I will cast thee forth on the open field ; the same in different words, signifying that his army should fall in battle by the sword of the Cyreneans, or Chaldeans, or both, and be left on the surface of the earth unburied: and will cause all the fowls of the heavens to remain upon thee, and I will... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 32:1-10

Judgment on a proud king. The mightiest king is not irresponsible. Although he may find no authority on earth to exercise control over him, he shall find that an unseen Power holds him in check, and chastises his oppressions. From the ubiquity of God's scepter he cannot escape. We have here described— I. A MONSTER OF MISCHIEF . He is represented as "a young lion of the nations," as "a whale in the seas." He is noteworthy, not for intellectual or manly qualities, but merely for... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 32:1-10

God's teaching in history. As the prophet continues his utterance in the same strain, our thought is directed to the same class of truths, and we learn— I. THAT GREAT SINNERS ARE GREAT TROUBLERS . Egypt was a young lion among the nations, fierce, dangerous, dreaded ( Ezekiel 32:2 ). It was a crocodile in the river, "breaking forth," " troubling the waters," and "fouling" them ( Ezekiel 32:2 ). Great cities like Rome and Sparta, powerful kingdoms like Assyria anti... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 32:4

The picture is carried out to its completion. The carcass of the crocodile becomes the prey of unclean birds and beasts. The carcass of the Egyptian greatness was to satiate the appetite of the invading hosts. Were the words of Psalms 74:14 , as to leviathan being "given for meat to the people in the wilderness" floating in Ezekiel's mind (compare the strange reference to leviathan in 2 Esdr. 6:49, 52, and in later Jewish traditions)? Greek writers describe the ichthyophagi of Africa as... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 32:3-6

Ezekiel 32:3-6. I will spread out my net over thee, &c. I will bring thine enemies upon thee, who shall encompass thee on every side, and master thee as a wild beast or monstrous fish is taken in a net. Then will I leave thee upon the land That is, leave thee to certain destruction, or take away from thee all means of recovery. For Pharaoh being here spoken of as a water animal, leaving him upon the land, signified leaving him to certain death, without the means of escaping it; for... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 32:1-32

The end of Egypt (32:1-32)Again Pharaoh (or Egypt) is likened to the mythological monster of the Nile who will be caught, dragged out of the river and left to rot in the sun. His blood will flow over the land and his carcass will be meat for birds and wild animals (32:1-6; cf. 29:3-5). A terrifying darkness throughout the country will impress upon people that this judgment is the work of the sovereign God (7-8).Neighbouring nations will tremble when they see multitudes of Egyptian people killed... read more
