Ezekiel 29:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 29:8

6 “Then all the inhabitants of Egypt
Shall know that I am the Lord,
Because they have been a ^astaff of reed to the house of Israel.

7 ^aWhen they took hold of you with the hand,
You broke and tore all their¹ shoulders;
When they leaned on you,
You broke and made all their backs quiver.”

8 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Surely I will bring ^aa sword upon you and cut off from you man and beast.

9 And the land of Egypt shall become ^adesolate and waste; then they will know that I am the Lord, because he said, ‘The River is mine, and I have made it.’

10 Indeed, therefore, I am against you and against your rivers, ^aand I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, ^bfrom Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Ethiopia.

11 ^aNeither foot of man shall pass through it nor foot of beast pass through it, and it shall be uninhabited forty years.

12 ^aI will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and among the cities that are laid waste, her cities shall be desolate forty years; and I will ^bscatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries.”

13 ‘Yet, thus says the Lord God: “At the ^aend of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were scattered.

14 I will bring back the captives of Egypt and cause them to return to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin, and there they shall be a ^alowly kingdom.
