Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 31:11

"I will even deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him; I have driven him out for his wickedness." — Ezekiel 31:11 (ASV)

The mighty one of the heathen.— The Chaldean monarch. At the time of the fall of Assyria this was Nabopolassar, Nebuchadnezzar’s father. In this verse, and partially in the next, the prophet drops his figure to make clear literal statements.
