Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 29:16
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
16. Egypt, when restored, shall be so circumscribed in power that it shall be no longer an object of confidence to Israel, as formerly; for example, as when, relying on it, Israel broke faith with Nebuchadnezzar ( Ezekiel 17:13 ; Ezekiel 17:15 ; Ezekiel 17:16 ). which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them —rather, "while they (the Israelites) look to (or, turn after ) them" [HENDERSON]. Israel's looking to Egypt, rather than to God, causes their iniquity (unfaithfulness to the covenant) to be remembered by God. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-17" class="com-number"
