Ezequiel 32:9

9 E afligirei o coração de muitos povos, quando eu levar a efeito a tua destruição entre as nações, até as terras que não conheceste.

Ezequiel 32:9 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 32:9

I will also vex the hearts of many people
With anger and grief, with fear and dread, with consternation and amazement: when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations;
or, "thy breach" {b}; the news of it, the tidings of their destruction; which by one means or another should come to their ears, and fill them with concern and great anxiety of mind, so rich and powerful a kingdom being subdued, and the king of Babylon made so great thereby, and fearing they fall a prey unto him also. The Targum renders it,

``when I shall bring the broken of thy war;''

that is, the soldiers that should be wounded in battle, their limbs broke, and they taken captive, and brought among the nations, dismal spectacles to look at; and which should be brought into countries, which thou hast not known;
at a distance from Egypt, and which had no commerce nor communication with them, nor were their friends and allies; yet as their destruction would reach their ears, so it would affect their hearts, and fill them with vexation and grief; not so much on account of Egypt, as the growing power of Nebuchadnezzar, and the danger they were in of falling into his hands.

Ezequiel 32:9 In-Context

7 E, apagando-te eu, cobrirei o céu, e enegrecerei as suas estrelas; ao sol encobrirei com uma nuvem, e a lua não dará a sua luz.

8 Todas as brilhantes luzes do céu, eu as enegrecerei sobre ti, e trarei trevas sobre a tua terra, diz o Senhor Deus.

9 E afligirei o coração de muitos povos, quando eu levar a efeito a tua destruição entre as nações, até as terras que não conheceste.

10 Demais farei com que muitos povos fiquem pasmados a teu respeito, e os seus reis serão sobremaneira amedrontados, quando eu brandir a minha espada diante deles; e estremecerão a cada momento, cada qual pela sua vida, no dia da tua queda.

11 Pois assim diz o Senhor Deus: A espada do rei de Babilônia virá sobre ti.
