A Lament for Egypt

Summary

This verse in Ezekiel describes how God will execute judgment on Egypt, using the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar as His instrument. The Lord declares that He will break the arms of Pharaoh and cause anguish to come upon the land of Egypt. Through this prophecy, God reveals His sovereignty over the nations and His ability to bring about justice and punishment for their sins. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of rebellion against God and the importance of obedience to His will.

John Gill Bible Commentary

Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt,.... In the several provinces, and in the several cities of it before mentioned, and in all other places; even the judgments of fire, famine, sword, and captivity: and they shall know that I am the Lord; God omniscient and omnipotent, by the, judgments executed; and own the same: this more especially they did, when the Gospel was preached among them, and many were converted by it in the times of the apostles.
