以西結書 29:9-12 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 29:8-16

This explains the foregoing prediction, which was figurative, and looks something further. Here is a prophecy, I. Of the ruin of Egypt. The threatening of this is very full and particular; and the sin for which this ruin shall be brought upon them is their pride, Ezek. 29:9. They said, The river is mine and I have made it; therefore their land shall spue them out. 1. God is against them, both against the king and against the people, against thee and against thy rivers. Waters signify people... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 29:9

And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste ,.... Men few or none being left in it, to till it, nor cattle found upon it: and they shall know that I am the Lord ; by these judgments executed upon them, now foretold; and which when come to pass, they will be obliged to acknowledge the omniscience and omnipotence of Jehovah: because thou hast said, the river is mine, and I have made it ; See Gill on Ezekiel 29:3 ; this insolent expression was highly resented by the Lord, as... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 29:10

Behold, therefore, I am against thee, and against thy rivers ,.... Against the king of Egypt, and against his subjects, the many people he ruled over; as the Lord is against spiritual Egypt, and the head of it, and the antichristian states, signified by many waters, rivers, and fountains; see Revelation 11:8 , and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate ; partly by a civil war, and partly by a foreign enemy; especially those parts of it which were the seat of war: ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 29:11

No foot of man shall pass through it ,.... This must be understood not strictly, but with some limitation; it cannot be thought that Egypt was so depopulated as that there should not be a single passenger in it; but that there should be few inhabitants in it, or that there should be scarce any that should come into it for traffic; it should not be frequented as it had been at least there should be very few that travelled in it, in comparison of what had: no foot of beast shall pass... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 29:12

And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate ,.... As Judea and others, made desolate by the king of Babylon: and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years ; such as Thebes, Sais, Memphis, and others; which should share the same fate as Jerusalem and other principal cities in other countries, which fell into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 29:10

From the tower of Syene - מונה ממגדל mimmigdol seveneh , "from Migdol to Syene." Syene, now called Essuan, was the last city in Egypt, going towards Ethiopia. It was famous for a well into which the rays of the sun fell perpendicularly at midday. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 29:12

Shall be desolate forty years - The country from Migdol or Magdolan, which was on the isthmus between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, was so completely ruined, that it might well be called desert; and it is probable that this desolation continued during the whole of the reign of Amasis, which was just forty years. See Herod. lib. 3 c. 10; and see Calmet. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 29:1-12

The world-power doomed. The work of the prophet is clear and definite, He does not declare his own speculations, nor the conclusions of his own judgment. He can specify the day and the hour in which God makes known to him his supreme will. Nor is the work so pleasant to the flesh as to induce men to adopt it of their own accord. The true prophet has to set himself against wickedness everywhere, of every sort and kind. He has to forego all human friendships, if he will publish God's Word. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 29:8-12

The humiliation of Egypt's pride. It certainly gives a reader a somewhat dark and gloomy view of the state of the world in the time of Ezekiel, to read, as we have to do in his prophecies, one almost uninterrupted series of reproaches and condemnations. The prophet spares no man and no nation; and his writings are a monument to human iniquity, and especially to the faults and errors of the nations that flourished and fell in pre-Christian antiquity. In this passage he foretells the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 29:8-16

God's frown, a chill of death. Men have very erroneous ideas of God when they think lightly of making him their foe. They have a vague idea that he is as impotent as one of their idols. Did they but know the magnitude of his power, and his complete supremacy over human affairs, they would feel that his frown was blackest death. The fruits of God's hostility are— I. DISASTROUS WAR . "I will bring a sword upon thee." It would not be true to say that God takes part in every war. In... read more
