What Does This Mean?

In this verse, God is speaking and declaring His judgment against Egypt and its rivers. He says He will make the land completely empty and desolate from one end to the other.

Explained for Children

Imagine if a big, powerful person said, 'I'm going to clean out your whole toy box, from the top shelf to the bottom, and make it empty.' That's kind of what God is saying He will do to Egypt.

Historical Background

Ezekiel, a prophet, wrote this around 593 BC while in exile. God used Ezekiel to warn Egypt about impending judgment due to their pride and reliance on the Nile.

Living It Out Today

Just as God warned Egypt, He warns us today about the consequences of pride and the importance of relying on Him rather than our own resources.
