Hesekiel 30:1-6

Listen to Hesekiel 30:1-6
1 Und des HERRN Wort geschah zu mir und sprach:
2 Du Menschenkind, weissage und sprich: So spricht der HERR HERR: Heult: "O weh des Tages!"
3 Denn der Tag ist nahe, ja, des HERRN Tag ist nahe, ein finsterer Tag; die Zeit der Heiden kommt.
4 Und das Schwert soll über Ägypten kommen; und Mohrenland muß erschrecken, wenn die Erschlagenen in Ägypten fallen werden und sein Volk weggeführt und seine Grundfesten umgerissen werden.
5 Mohrenland und Libyen und Lud mit allerlei Volk und Chub und die aus dem Lande des Bundes sind, sollen samt ihnen durchs Schwert fallen.
6 So spricht der HERR: Die Schutzherren Ägyptens müssen fallen, und die Hoffart seiner Macht muß herunter; von Migdol bis gen Syene sollen sie durchs Schwert fallen, spricht der HERR HERR.

Hesekiel 30:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL 30

This chapter is a continuation of the prophecy against Egypt, both against the country and the king of it. It is introduced with expressions of lamentation, because of the destruction coming on, Eze 30:1-3, and not only Egypt, and the cities thereof, should be destroyed, but all her friends, associates, and allies; the Ethiopians, Lydians, Lybians, and others, Eze 30:4-9. Nebuchadnezzar and his army were to be the instruments of her ruin, Eze 30:10-12, particular cities are mentioned by name, which should suffer much, and become desolate, Eze 30:13-19 and then Pharaoh king of Egypt himself is threatened with broken arms, and his people to be scattered among the nations, Eze 30:20-23, and the king of Babylon is again mentioned, whose arms should be strengthened to do all this, Eze 30:24-26.
