Ezekiel 29:1-12

Here are sad things to be done for the humbling of Egypt, and which God will certainly accomplish. But what I particularly beg the Reader to observe, because it is indeed the general cause the Lord assigns for his judgments upon those various nations, is, that it is to punish Egypt for the having done evil to his people. They have been, saith the Lord, a staff of reed to the house of Israel. The Reader will not need, I should hope, any observation from me to show the importance of this doctrine, neither the graciousness of it. Here again, as before, I beg the Reader to make a right calculation, if he can, of the greatness of the mercy.
