Listen to Ezechiele 30:21

Ezechiele 30:21 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 30:21

Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt,
&c.] Not Pharaohnecho, king of Egypt, whose army was overthrown at Carchemish by the king of Babylon, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim; when the latter took from the former all that belonged to him between the river of Egypt and the river Euphrates; by which he was so weakened and dispirited, that he could not stir any more out of his own land, ( Jeremiah 46:2 ) ( 2 Kings 24:7 ) and of him Jarchi and Kimchi interpret it; but Pharaohhophra, or Apries, who was defeated by the Cyreneans, and saved himself by flight; (See Gill on Ezekiel 29:4): and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind
it;
a metaphor taken from chirurgeons, who, having set broken bones, put on a bandage or rollers of linen, or such like stuff, to keep them tight; but nothing of this kind should be done; hereby suggesting that Egypt should receive such a blow or wound as would be incurable; see ( Jeremiah 46:11 ) : to make it strong to hold the sword;
which it should not be able to do, or to make war any more, at least with success, or to defend itself.

20 L’anno undicesimo, il primo mese, il settimo giorno del mese, la parola dell’Eterno mi fu rivolta in questi termini:
21 "Figliuol d’uomo, io ho spezzato il braccio di Faraone, re d’Egitto; ed ecco, il suo braccio non è stato fasciato applicandovi rimedi e mettendovi delle bende per fasciarlo e fortificarlo, in guisa da poter maneggiare una spada.
22 Perciò, così parla il Signore, l’Eterno: Eccomi contro Faraone, re d’Egitto, per spezzargli le braccia, tanto quello ch’è ancora forte, quanto quello ch’è già spezzato; farò cader di mano la spada.
23 E disperderò gli Egiziani fra le nazioni, e li spargerò per tutti i paesi;
