Context of Ezekiel 30:11

9At that time, I will send messengers in ships to Ethiopia. I will stop the Ethiopian people being proud of their power. Instead, the news about Egypt's trouble will make them very afraid. That day is coming soon! Be careful! 10This is what the Almighty Lord says: I will use King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to destroy Egypt's army. The king and his army will come to destroy the land. They are a nation of cruel people. They will attack Egypt's people with their swords. They will fill the land with dead bodies. 12I will cause the Nile river to become dry. I will put the land under the power of evil men. Foreigners will destroy the land of Egypt and everything that is in it. That is what I, the Lord, say. 13The Almighty Lord says this: I will destroy Egypt's idols and the false gods in Memphis. Egypt will no longer have its own ruler. I will cause Egypt's people to be very afraid.

Commentaries on Ezekiel 30:11

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-19This third message against Egypt is written as a lament (a poem of sorrow). It repeats much of the earlier message in Ezekiel 29:1–16. God would judge Egypt and its allies. The nation would fall under his judgment.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-26Two distinct messages: (1) At Eze 30:1-19, a repetition of Eze 29:1-16, with fuller details of lifelike distinctness.
