ezekiel 29:6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

ezekiel 29:6 "Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am the LORD, Because they have been [only] a staff [made] of reed to the house of Israel.

6. staff of reed to . . . Israel--alluding to the reeds on the banks of the Nile, which broke if one leaned upon them (see on Eze 29:4; Isa 36:6). All Israel's dependence on Egypt proved hurtful instead of beneficial (Isa 30:1-5).

ezekiel 29:6 "Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am the LORD, Because they have been [only] a staff [made] of reed to the house of Israel.
