Ezequiel 29:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 29:8

Therefore thus saith the Lord God
Because of the pride of the king of Egypt, asserting the river to be his own, and made by him for himself; and because of his perfidy to the house of Israel: behold, I will bring a sword upon thee;
or those that kill with the sword, as the Targum; first a cival war, occasioned by the murmurs of the people, on account of the defeat of their army at Cyrene; which issued in the dethroning and strangling of this king, as before observed and setting up another; which cival commotions Nebuchadnezzar took the advantage of, and came against Egypt with a large army: and cut off man and beast out of thee;
for what with the civil wars among themselves, and what with the devastations of the king of Babylon's army, putting men to the sword, and seizing upon the beasts for their food, to support such an army in a foreign land, it was pretty well stripped of both.

Ezequiel 29:8 In-Context

6 “EntĂŁo todos os que vivem no Egito saberĂŁo que eu sou o SENHOR.“VocĂȘ tem sido um bordĂŁo de junco para a nação de Israel.
7 Quando eles o pegaram com as mĂŁos, vocĂȘ rachou e rasgou os ombros deles; quando eles se apoiaram em vocĂȘ, vocĂȘ se quebrou, e as costas deles sofreram torção.
8 “Portanto, assim diz o Soberano, o SENHOR: Trarei uma espada contra vocĂȘ e matarei os seus homens e os seus animais.
9 O Egito se tornarĂĄ um deserto arrasado. EntĂŁo eles saberĂŁo que eu sou o SENHOR.“Visto que vocĂȘ disse: ‘O Nilo Ă© meu; eu o fiz’,
10 estou contra vocĂȘ e contra os seus regatos e tornarei o Egito uma desgraça e um deserto arrasado desde Migdol atĂ© Sevene, chegando atĂ© a fronteira da EtiĂłpia.
