Ezekiel 31:3
繁體中文
對埃及的第五篇預言：以亞述人的命運為鑑，向法老提出警告。亞述帝國稱霸亞洲四個世紀之後，於迦基米施之戰（主前605年）的那一年——正是那一戰擊碎了埃及的權勢——被巴比倫與瑪代的聯軍傾覆。這一點使從亞述傾覆引出的對埃及之警告更具力量。
영문 원문
Fifth prophecy against Egypt: a warning to Pharaoh from the fate of the Assyrians. The Assyrian empire, after having been supreme in Asia for four centuries, had been overthrown by the united forces of the Babylonians and Medes, in the year of the battle of Carchemish (605 b.c.), which had broken the power of Egypt. This gives force to the warning to Egypt from Assyria's fall.

Ezekiel 31:14
繁體中文
眾樹——照旁註譯作「靠己力站立」，意即「憑自己的力量站立」。如此本句可作：「使凡喝水的都不致靠己力站立。」「凡喝水的」指財富與繁榮源源湧入的強大君王。埃及人的一切都仰賴尼羅河的水。要旨是：亞述的傾覆乃是命定，好叫地上的強者學會不可因驕傲自高，也不可倚靠自己，因為他們終必分受必朽的共有命運。
영문 원문
Their trees - Rather, as in the margin, "standing unto themselves" meaning "standing in their own strength." The clause will then run thus: "Neither all that drink water stand up" in their own strength. "All that drink water" means mighty princes to whom wealth and prosperity flow in. The Egyptians owed everything to the waters of the Nile. The substance is, that Assyria's fall was decreed in order that the mighty ones of the earth might learn not to exalt themselves in pride or to rely on themselves, seeing that they must share the common lot of mortality.

Ezekiel 31:15
繁體中文
亞述傾覆的影響。
Ezekiel 31:15
我使深淵遮蓋——以麻布遮蓋是哀悼的表達（Ezekiel 27:31）。那作亞述繁榮之源的深淵（Ezekiel 31:4）被弄得哀慟：它不再湧出水量，喜樂的豐沛枯竭了。
為他——即因他的緣故。
大水……諸水——或作「江河……大水」（如 Ezekiel 31:4-5）。
利巴嫩代表亞述所統轄的國；「樹木」代表向它進貢的眾君王。

Effect of Assyria's fall.
Ezekiel 31:15
I covered the deep - To cover with sack-cloth was an expression of mourning Ezekiel 27:31. The deep, the source of Assyria's prosperity Ezekiel 31:4, was made to mourn, being dried up instead of giving forth its waters, its glad abundance.
For him - Upon his account.
Floods ... great waters - Or, rivers ... the multitude of waters (as in Ezekiel 31:4-5).
Lebanon represents the country which Assyria governed; "the trees," the tributary princes.
