Ezequiel 29:16 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 29:16

And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel,
&c.] It having been treacherous to them, and moreover subdued by the Chaldeans, the Jews, even after their return from captivity, put no more confidence in them; it being now become as it is here prophesied it would, the basest of the kingdoms, more weak, and in a more abject state, than the rest, and so despised by its neighbours, as it was by the Jews: which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look
after them;
as they had done in time past, when they looked after them for help, and expected it from them, and trusted in them, and served their idols; which brought to the Lord's remembrance former iniquities and idolatries, for which he punished them; but now they should do so no more: but they shall know that I am the Lord God;
not the Egyptians, but the Israelites; who being returned from captivity, shall acknowledge and serve the only true God, and no more worship the idols of the nations.

Ezequiel 29:16 In-Context

14 Eu os trarei de volta do cativeiro e os farei voltar ao alto Egito, Ă  terra dos seus antepassados. Ali serĂŁo um reino humilde.
15 Será o mais humilde dos reinos, e nunca mais se exaltará sobre as outras nações. Eu o farei tão fraco que nunca mais dominará sobre as nações.
16 O Egito não inspirará mais confiança a Israel, mas será uma lembrança de sua iniquidade por procurá-lo em busca de ajuda. Então eles saberão que eu sou o Soberano, o SENHOR”.
17 No primeiro dia do primeiro mês do vigésimo sétimo ano do exílio, esta palavra do SENHOR veio a mim:
18 “Filho do homem, o rei Nabucodonosor, da Babilônia, conduziu o seu exército numa dura campanha contra Tiro; toda cabeça foi esfregada até não ficar cabelo algum e todo ombro ficou esfolado. Contudo, ele e o seu exército não obtiveram nenhuma recompensa com a campanha que ele conduziu contra Tiro.
