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 Sin embargo, este príncipe se rebeló contra el rey de Babilonia, y envió mensajeros a Egipto para conseguir caballos y un numeroso ejército. ¿Y tendrá éxito y podrá escapar el que se atreva a hacer esto? ¿Acaso podrá violar el tratado y salir con vida?
16 ¡No, sino que morirá en Babilonia, el país del rey que lo nombró y con quien hizo un juramento que no cumplió, y firmó un tratado que violó! Yo, el SEÑOR omnipotente, lo juro por mí mismo.
17 Ni el faraón con su gran ejército y numerosas tropas podrá auxiliarlo en la guerra, cuando se levanten rampas y se construyan torres de asalto para matar a mucha gente.
18 El príncipe de Judá quebrantó el juramento y violó el tratado. Así que por haber hecho todo esto a pesar de su compromiso, ¡no escapará!
19 »Por tanto, así dice el SEÑOR omnipotente: “Juro por mí mismo que lo castigaré por haber faltado al juramento y violado el tratado.
