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 Os cedros do jardim de Deusnão eram rivais para ele,nem os pinheiros conseguiamigualar-se aos seus ramos,nem os plátanos podiamcomparar-se com os seus galhos;nenhuma árvore do jardim de Deuspodia equiparar-se à sua beleza.
9 Eu o fiz belo com rica ramagem,a inveja de todas as árvores do Éden,do jardim de Deus.
10 “Portanto, assim diz o Soberano, o SENHOR: Como ele se ergueu e se tornou tão alto, alçando seu topo acima da folhagem espessa, e como ficou orgulhoso da sua altura,
11 eu o entreguei ao governante das nações para que este o tratasse de acordo com a sua maldade. Eu o rejeitei,
12 e a mais impiedosa das nações estrangeiras o derrubou e o deixou. Seus ramos caíram sobre os montes e em todos os vales; seus galhos jazeram quebrados em todas as ravinas da terra. Todas as nações da terra saíram de sua sombra e o abandonaram.
