Ezequiel 29:19

19 Por lo tanto, esto dice el Señor

Ezequiel 29:19 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 29:19

Therefore thus saith the Lord God
Since this was the case, that the king of Babylon had been working for nothing, and had spent much blood and treasure, as well as time, to little purpose and advantage to himself; behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadrezzar king of
Babylon;
which will make him a sufficient recompence for his loss of time, men, and money, before Tyre; and though the conquest of Egypt was made easy to him, by the internal divisions and wars which were among the Egyptians; yet these were suffered, and ordered by the providence of God, to bring about this his will, by way of righteous punishment of the Egyptians, for their treachery to his people, and other sins: and he shall take her multitude,
of soldiers, and of inhabitants, and carry them captive: and take her spoil, and take her prey;
that which the Egyptians had spoiled other nations of and made a prey of that should now become the spoil and prey of the Chaldeans: and it shall be the wages for his army;
with this the king of Babylon would be able to pay off the arrears of his army; which had lain so long against Tyre; or this would be a recompence to them for all the hardships they there sustained.

Ezequiel 29:19 In-Context

17 Nabucodonosor conquistará Egipto
El 26 de abril, el primer día del año nuevo,
durante el año veintisiete de cautividad del rey Joaquín, recibí este mensaje del Señor
:

18 «Hijo de hombre, el ejército del rey Nabucodonosor
de Babilonia combatió tan ferozmente contra Tiro que los guerreros quedaron con la cabeza calva y los hombros llagados y ampollados; pero ni Nabucodonosor ni su ejército recibieron botín en recompensa por todo su esfuerzo.

19 Por lo tanto, esto dice el Señor
Soberano: le entregaré el territorio de Egipto a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia. Se llevará la riqueza de Egipto saqueando todo lo que haya para poder pagarle a su ejército.

20 Así es, le he entregado la tierra de Egipto como recompensa por su esfuerzo, dice el Señor
Soberano, porque trabajaba para mí cuando destruyó a Tiro.

21 »Llegará el día cuando haré revivir la antigua gloria de Israel,
y por fin, Ezequiel, respetarán tus palabras. Entonces sabrán que yo soy el Señor
».
