Ezekiel 30 talks about God's judgment against Egypt. The chapter describes how God will send his wrath upon the nation and his cities, destroying his idols and pouring his wrath upon them. Here are five verses related to the topics covered in Ezekiel 30:
Jeremiah 46:13-14: "The word that the Lord spoke to the prophet Jeremiah about the coming of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, to hurt the land of Egypt: announce it in Egypt, and make it listen in Migdol; "Also listening in myfis and Tafnes; Say: Put you in order, and prepare; for the sword has devoured around you." This verse relates to Ezekiel 30 because it also talks about the destruction of Egypt by a foreign nation.
Isaiah 19:4: "And I will give the Egyptians into the hand of a hard Lord, and a rigorous king shall dominate them, says the Lord, the Lord of hosts." This verse relates to Ezekiel 30 because it also talks about God's punishment against Egypt, which will be delivered into the hands of a hard Lord.
Jeremiah 46:25: "The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, says, Behold, I will visit Amom, no, and over Pharaoh, and over Egypt, together with their gods and their kings; Pharaoh, and about all who trust in Him. " This verse relates to Ezekiel 30 because it talks about God's visit to Egypt and its destruction with its idols.
Isaiah 19:1: "Now the burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rides on a slight cloud, and will enter Egypt; and the idols of Egypt shall move to His presence, and the heart of the Egyptians will melt among them. " This verse relates to Ezekiel 30 because it also talks about the destruction of Egyptian idols in the presence of God.
Jeremiah 46:28: "Do not fear, O my servant, Jacob, say the Lord; for I am with you; for I will make a complete destruction of all nations among which I launched you; but I will not give you a complete destruction, but punishment- I have measured with measure, and in no way will I have you innocent. " This verse relates to Ezekiel 30 because it talks about God's protection over Israel during the destruction of the nations around it.
