Ezekiel 30:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 30:1

Egypt and Her Allies Will Fall

1 The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,

2 “Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
^a“Wail, ‘Woe to the day!’

3 For ^athe day is near,
Even the day of the Lord is near;
It will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles.

4 The sword shall come upon Egypt,
And great anguish shall be in¹ Ethiopia,
When the slain fall in Egypt,
And they ^atake away her wealth,
And ^bher foundations are broken down.

5 “Ethiopia,¹ Libya, Lydia, ^aall the mingled people, Chub, and the men of the lands who are allied, shall fall with them by the sword.”

6 ‘Thus says the Lord:
“Those who uphold Egypt shall fall,
And the pride of her power shall come down.
^aFrom¹ Migdol to Syene
Those within her shall fall by the sword,”
Says the Lord God.

7 “They^a shall be desolate in the midst of the desolate countries,
And her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are laid waste.

8 Then they will know that I am the Lord,
When I have set a fire in Egypt
And all her helpers are destroyed.

9 On that day ^amessengers shall go forth from Me in ships
To make the¹ careless Ethiopians afraid,
And great anguish shall come upon them,
As on the day of Egypt;
For indeed it is coming!”

10 ‘Thus says the Lord God:
^a“I will also make a multitude of Egypt to cease
By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

11 He and his people with him, ^athe most terrible of the nations,
Shall be brought to destroy the land;
They shall draw their swords against Egypt,
And fill the land with the slain.
