Ezekiel 31:18

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah." — Ezekiel 31:18 (ASV)

To whom art thou thus like. —In this closing verse the whole chapter is brought to a point. Egypt, like Assyria in glory, shall be like her in experience of the judgments of God. On “uncircumcised,” compare the Note on Ezekiel 28:10.
