Ezequiel 31:2 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 31:2

Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt
To Pharaohhophra, the then reigning king; not to him personally by word of mouth, for the prophet was now in Chaldea; but by delivering out a prophecy concerning him, and which he might have an opportunity of sending to him: and to his multitude;
the multitude of his subjects, of which he boasted, and in whom he trusted: whom art thou like in thy greatness?
look over all the records of time, and into all the empires, kingdoms, and states that have been; draw a comparison between thyself and the greatest potentate that ever was; fancy thyself to be equal to him; this will not secure thee from ruin and destruction; for as they have been humbled, and are fallen, so wilt thou be: pitch for instance on the Assyrian monarch, whose empire has been the most ancient, extensive, and flourishing, and yet now crushed; and as thou art like him in greatness, at least thou thinkest so, so thou art in pride, and wilt be in thine end; to assure of which is the drift of the following account of the king of Assyria.

Ezequiel 31:2 In-Context

1 Comparación entre Egipto y la Asiria derrotada
El 21 de junio,
durante el año once de cautividad del rey Joaquín, recibí este mensaje del Señor
:
2 «Hijo de hombre, dale este mensaje al faraón, rey de Egipto, y a todas sus multitudes:
»“¿Con quién compararás tu grandeza?
3 Eres como la poderosa Asiria,
que alguna vez fue como un cedro del Líbano,
con hermosas ramas que daban una intensa sombra al bosque
y su copa llegaba hasta las nubes.
4 Los manantiales profundos lo regaban
y lo ayudaban a crecer alto y frondoso.
El agua corría a su alrededor como un río
y fluía hacia todos los árboles cercanos.
5 Este gran árbol se elevaba
muy por encima de los demás árboles que lo rodeaban.
Creció y desarrolló ramas gruesas y largas
por el agua abundante que recibían sus raíces.
