17–21 Here begins a second message against Egypt, this one given in the twenty–seventh year of Ezekiel’s exile (verse 17)—seventeen years after the first one68 (verse 1). The Lord informs Ezekiel that He has decided to give Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar as a reward for attacking Tyre; apparently Nebuchadnezzar had obtained no plunder from Tyre, and so the plunder from Egypt would make up for it (verses 18–19).
On that day (the day Nebuchadnezzar invades Egypt) the Lord will make a horn grow for the Jewish exiles in Babylonia (verse 21)—that is, He will strengthen and encourage them with the news that Israel’s ancient enemy has fallen.69
