Ezequiel 29:20 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 29:20

I have given him the land of Egypt for labour wherewith he
served against it,
That is, against Tyre; meaning not Nebuchadnezzar merely or only, but his army also, who did the main of the service and labour, and had the plunder of the country for it; though the kingdom itself was given to their king, and annexed to his monarchy: because they wrought for me, saith the Lord God;
not intentionally, but eventually; they did not design to do any service for God; they only sought to serve themselves with the riches and wealth of those they subdued; and yet while they besieged Tyre, and when they took it, and while they were ravaging, plundering, and subduing Egypt, they were doing the Lord's will and work, and executing his righteous judgments on these enemies of his for their sins; wherefore he rewarded them sufficiently: none ever are employed by him but he gives them their wages; even though they are wicked and ungodly men, verily they have their reward.

Ezequiel 29:20 In-Context

18 Hijo de hombre, Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, hizo que su ejército realizara una gran campaña contra Tiro; toda cabeza ha quedado calva y toda espalda desollada. Pero él y su ejército no recibieron pago de Tiro por la campaña que había realizado contra ella.

19 Por tanto, así dice el Señor DIOS: He aquí, daré la tierra de Egipto a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia. Se llevará sus riquezas, capturará su botín y tomará su despojo; y esto será la paga para su ejército.

20 Le he dado la tierra de Egipto por la obra que realizó contra Tiro, porque trabajaron para mídeclara el Señor DIOS.

21 Aquel día haré brotar el poderío de la casa de Israel, y abriré tu boca en medio de ellos; y sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR.
