Ezekiel 30:22 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 30:22

Therefore thus saith the Lord God, behold, I am against
Pharaoh king of Egypt
The then present king of Egypt, whose name was Hophra or Apries, ( Jeremiah 44:30 ) : and I will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken:
both his arms, the sound and the broken one, his whole power, strength, and dominion; meaning that that part of his kingdom which lay between the two rivers of Egypt and Euphrates, that had been taken away by the king of Babylon, should remain so; and the other part of his kingdom should fall a prey to him also: and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand;
so that he should be so far from being so able to make use of the sword, that he should not be able to hold it; it should drop out of his hand; nor should he be able to take it up again, and make war, either offensive or defensive.

Ezekiel 30:22 In-Context

20 In the eleventh year, on the seventh day of the first month, God's Message came to me:

21 "Son of man, I've broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And look! It hasn't been set. No splint has been put on it so the bones can knit and heal, so he can use a sword again.

22 "Therefore, God, the Master, says, I am dead set against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will go ahead and break his other arm - both arms broken! There's no way he'll ever swing a sword again.

23 I'll scatter Egyptians all over the world.

24 I'll make the arms of the king of Babylon strong and put my sword in his hand, but I'll break the arms of Pharaoh and he'll groan like one who is mortally wounded.
