21. 'Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; you can see that no one has dressed his wound by applying remedies to it, by bandaging it and by dressing it, to make it strong enough to wield the sword.

21. Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.

30:1-3 - The word of judgment on Egypt is expanded, indicating that God will bring destruction upon the entire Egyptian land. This chapter highlights the scope of God's judgment, which extends to all nations that oppose His will (see also Jeremiah 46:10 and Isaiah 19:16).

30:4-5 - God promises to attack not only Egypt but also its allies, including Ethiopia, Libya, and other neighboring nations. This divine judgment shows that God's sovereignty encompasses all lands and peoples without exception (see also Amos 1:2 and Jeremiah 46:1-12).

30:6-9 - Egypt's neighboring nations will suffer along with it. Egypt's destruction will profoundly affect the region, symbolizing the impact of a crumbling empire, affecting all the nations that depended on it (see also Ezekiel 32:10 and Jeremiah 48:39).

30:10-12 - God declares that He will use Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, to conquer Egypt, symbolizing that nations cannot escape God's will. This highlights the instrumentalization of pagan empires to accomplish God's purposes (see also Isaiah 10:5-7 and Jeremiah 25:9).

30:18-19 - The desolation of Egypt extends to its capital, Memphis, and the surrounding cities. This radical judgment underscores God's absolute power over all civilizations and His control over the destinies of nations (see also Ezekiel 32:15 and Jeremiah 43:12).
