Ezekiel 30:14 NIV

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

And I will make Pathros desolate ,.... A country in Egypt; See Gill on Ezekiel 29:14 , perhaps it was the first place that Nebuchadnezzar entered, and so went from place to place in the order hereafter mentioned: and I will set fire in Zoan ; or Tunis, a famous city in Egypt in the times of Moses, Numbers 13:22 . The Targum and Septuagint version call it Tanis here; and from hence a nome in Egypt was called the Tanitic nome. This city was burnt down by the king of Babylon: the place... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:1-19

The Lord's day in Egypt. The Lord's day is the day in which God comes nearest to men and manifests himself. Whether he will come as our Friend or as our Foe depends on our state of mind towards him. He has not abandoned the race of men. They are on trial, undergoing discipline. Now and again he comes near, either in his radiant robes of grace or in solemn aspect as an impartial Judge. Even when he approaches nations in the latter character, he gives premonitions of his coming, and this is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:14

(For Pathros , see note on Ezekiel 29:14 .) Zoan—joined with Noph in Isaiah 19:11 , mentioned in Numbers 13:22 as older than Hebron—is the Tanis of the Greeks, situated on the Tanitic branch of the Delta of the Nile. No ; or, as in Nahum 3:8 , No Amon (equivalent to "the abode of Ammen"), the sacred name of the Egyptian Thebes.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 30:1-26

Desolation of Egypt (30:1-26)God’s coming judgment on Egypt will be a day of terror for other nations besides Egypt (30:1-3), because when Egypt falls many of its neighbouring allies will suffer also (4-5). These allies will be terrified as news reaches them of the calamities in Egypt. The invading army will overrun Egypt from north to south, killing the people and burning their cities (6-8). The people in neighbouring Ethiopia (NIV: Cush; GNB: Sudan) will be terror-stricken, knowing that they... read more
