Ezekiel 29:10
Sundanese Bible (Sunda) - KITAB SUCI (LAISUN) 1991
maneh jeung eta walungan jadi musuh Kami. Sakuliah Mesir, ti semet kota Migdol di kaler nepi ka kota Aswan di kidul, sapanjang jalan anu maju ka wates nagri Sudan, ku Kami rek dijadikeun tempat suwung.
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.
