29:6Then all those living in Egypt will know that I am the Lord
because they were a reed staff7 for the house of Israel;
29:7when they grasped you with their hand,8 you broke and tore9 their shoulders,
and when they leaned on you, you splintered and caused their legs to be unsteady.10
Footnotes
- 7 Compare Isa 36:6.
- 8 The Hebrew consonantal text (Kethib) has “by your hand,” but the marginal reading (Qere) has simply “by the hand.” The reads “with their hand.”
- 9 Or perhaps “dislocated.”
- 10 Heb “you caused to stand for them all their hips.” An emendation which switches two letters but is supported by the yields the reading “you caused all their hips to shake.” See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (), 2:. In 2 Kgs 18:21 and Isa 36:6 trusting in the Pharaoh is compared to leaning on a staff. The oracle may reflect Hophra’s attempt to aid Jerusalem (Jer 37:5–8).

“ ‘Then all the inhabitants of Egypt
will know that I am the Lord,
for they have been a staff made of reed
to the house of Israel.
When Israel grasped you by the hand,
you splintered, tearing all their shoulders;
when they leaned on you,
you shattered and made all their hips unsteady.

NLTNew Living Translation
All the people of Egypt will know that I am the Lord,
for to Israel you were just a staff made of reeds.
When Israel leaned on you,
you splintered and broke
and stabbed her in the armpit.
When she put her weight on you,
you collapsed, and her legs gave way.

And all of the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh,
because of their being a staff of reed for the house of Israel.
When they took hold of you with the hand, you snapped,
and you split their every shoulder.
And when they leaned on you, you broke,
and you caused all of their loins to wobble.”
