Ezekiel 30:6 KJV

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 30:6

Thus saith the Lord, they also that uphold Egypt shall fall ,.... That is, by the sword; either their allies and auxiliaries without, that supported the Egyptians with men and money; or their principal people within, their nobles that supported their state with their estates, their counsellors with their wisdom, their soldiers with their valour and courage: and the pride of her power shall come down ; or the power they were proud of, the dominion and grandeur they boasted of; the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:1-7

The day of desolation. To what extent we are to take the prophet's description of the "woe" that was to overtake Egypt in a strictly external sense must (as said before on Ezekiel 29:16 ) depend on our principle of biblical interpretation, together with our reading of ancient history. For the purpose of religious edification it is enough that we accept these words as a picture of the desolation to which a course of guilt, whether national or individual, may be expected to lead. I. ... 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 30:4-6

Associated calamities. I. TROUBLE SPREADS . 1. In the individual . The first mischief in Egypt comes from the sword of the invader; but this is quickly followed by other ills. After Nebuchadnezzar's invasion the "abundance" is taken away, and the "foundations" are broken down. 2. Among communities of men . Cush follows the fate of Egypt, and other nations also fall under the wide sweep of judgment. We are members one of another, and when one member suffers all the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:5-8

The fate of the allies. Egypt was not alone in her forgetfulness of the principles of righteousness, in her defiance of God; and she was not alone in her chastisement and desolation. She had allies, who were included by the prophet in the denunciation he was directed to utter against Pharaoh and his people. I. POLITICAL AND NATIONAL ALLIANCES ARE OFTEN BASED UPON INTEREST RATHER THAN UPON MORAL PRINCIPLES . The weak seek the support of the strong; the strong... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:6

They that uphold Egypt . The words include the allies named in Ezekiel 30:5 ; but also embrace the rulers, generals, perhaps the idols, of Egypt itself. From the tower of Syene . As before, in Ezekiel 29:10 , "from Migdol to Syene." read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 30:6-9

Ezekiel 30:6-9. They also that uphold Egypt shall fall By this seems to be meant the governors of the several provinces, those who are called the stay of the tribes thereof, Isaiah 19:13; that is, of the several Nomi, or districts of Egypt. From the tower of Syene shall they fall This should rather be rendered, from Migdol to Syene. See note on Ezekiel 29:10. When I have set a fire in Egypt When I shall have kindled up the flame of war in Egypt. God’s judgments are often compared... read more

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
