Ezequiel 31:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 31:10

Therefore thus saith the Lord God
Having described the greatness of the Assyrian monarch; now follows the account of his fall, and the cause of it, pride: because thou hast lifted up thyself in height;
this is either an address to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who, though he did not rise up so high as the Assyrian monarch in glory and grandeur; yet he lifted up himself, and thought himself superior to any; which reason he must be brought down: or the words are directed to the Assyrian monarch, by a change of person frequent in Scripture; who, though he was raised by the Lord to the height of honour and dignity he was, yet ascribed it to himself: and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs;
the multitude of provinces over which he became head and governor; (See Gill on Ezekiel 31:3): and his heart is lifted up in his height;
with pride, insolence, and contempt of God and men; of which see the instances in ( Isaiah 10:8-15 ) ( 36:18-20 ) ( 37:10-13 ) .

Ezequiel 31:10 In-Context

8 Ningún cedro en el jardín de Diosse le podía comparar;ningún pino ostentaba un follaje parecido,ni tenían su fronda los castaños.Ningún árbol del jardín de Diosse le comparaba en hermosura.
9 Yo lo hice belloy con un ramaje majestuoso.En el Edén, jardín de Dios,era la envidia de todos los árboles.
10 »”Por eso, así dice el SEÑOR omnipotente: ‘Por cuanto el árbol creció tan alto, y ufano de su altura irguió su copa hasta las nubes,
11 yo lo he desechado; lo he dejado en manos de un déspota invasor, para que lo trate según su maldad.
12 Los extranjeros más crueles lo han talado, abandonándolo a su suerte. Sus ramas han caído en los montes y en los valles; yacen rotas por todas las cañadas del país. Huyeron y lo abandonaron todas las naciones que buscaban protección bajo su sombra.
