Ezequiel 29:9 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 29:9

And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste
Men few or none being left in it, to till it, nor cattle found upon it: and they shall know that I am the Lord;
by these judgments executed upon them, now foretold; and which when come to pass, they will be obliged to acknowledge the omniscience and omnipotence of Jehovah: because thou hast said, the river is mine, and I have made it;
(See Gill on Ezekiel 29:3); this insolent expression was highly resented by the Lord, as appears by the repetition of it. The Targum is here, as before,

``the kingdom is mine, and I have subdued it;''
but, notwithstanding this vaunt, he could not keep it.

Ezequiel 29:9 In-Context

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.
11 Nenhum pé de homem ou pata de animal o atravessarå; ninguém morarå ali por quarenta anos.
