Ezekiel 31:11

Compare all

9 I made it beautiful with a multitude of branches,
So that all the trees of Eden envied it,
That were in the garden of God.’

10 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have increased in height, and it set its top among the thick boughs, and ^aits heart was lifted up in its height,

11 therefore I will deliver it into the hand of the ^amighty one of the nations, and he shall surely deal with it; I have driven it out for its wickedness.

12 And aliens, ^athe most terrible of the nations, have cut it down and left it; its branches have fallen ^bon the mountains and in all the valleys; its boughs lie ^cbroken by all the rivers of the land; and all the peoples of the earth have gone from under its shadow and left it.

13 ‘On ^aits ruin will remain all the birds of the heavens,
And all the beasts of the field will come to its branches—

Ezekiel 31:11

The mighty one of the heathen - Nebuchadnezzar. It is worthy of notice, that Nebuchadnezzar, in the first year of his reign, rendered himself master of Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian empire. See Sedar Olam. This happened about twenty years before Ezekiel delivered this prophecy; on this account, Ashshur, Ezekiel 31:3, may relate to the Assyrians, to whom it is possible the prophet here compares the Egyptians. But see the note on Ezekiel 31:3.
