Ezequiel 17:17 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 17:17

Neither shall Pharaoh, with [his] mighty army and great
company,
make for him in the war
The king of Egypt, to whom Zedekiah applied for horses and men to help him; though he should come with a great army, and a large multitude of people, yet should be of no use to Zedekiah, nor do any hurt to Nebuchadnezzar, or hinder him from taking Jerusalem: by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons;
that is, when Nebuchadnezzar should besiege Jerusalem, and raise mounts, and build fortifications, in order to take the city, and destroy its inhabitants; as he did, ( Jeremiah 52:4 ) ; the Egyptian army should not be able to hinder him going on with the siege, and taking the city; for though the siege was broke up for a time, upon the approach of Pharaoh's army, yet Nebuchadnezzar, having conquered the Egyptians, returned again to the siege of Jerusalem, and took it; see ( Jeremiah 37:5-10 ) .

Ezequiel 17:17 In-Context

15 "Pero se ha rebelado contra él enviando embajadores a Egipto para que le den caballos y muchas tropas. ¿Tendrá éxito? ¿Escapará el que hace tales cosas? ¿Puede romper el pacto y escapar?
16 "Vivo yo"declara el Señor DIOS"que ciertamente en la tierra del rey que lo puso en el trono, cuyo juramento despreció y cuyo pacto rompió, allí, en medio de Babilonia, morirá.
17 "Ni con poderoso ejército ni con gran compañía lo ayudará Faraón en la guerra, cuando levanten terraplenes y construyan muros de asedio para cortar muchas vidas.
18 "Pues ha despreciado el juramento al romper el pacto; he aquí, juró fidelidad pero hizo todas estas cosas. No escapará."
19 Por tanto, así dice el Señor DIOS: Vivo yo, que ciertamente mi juramento que él despreció, mi pacto que él rompió, lo haré recaer sobre su cabeza.
