فَتَمَرَّدَ عَلَيْهِ بِإِرْسَالِهِ رُسُلَهُ إِلَى مِصْرَ لِيُعْطُوهُ خَيْلاً وَشَعْبًا كَثِيرِينَ. فَهَلْ يَنْجَحُ؟ هَلْ يُفْلِتُ فَاعِلُ هذَا؟ أَوْ يَنْقُضُ عَهْدًا وَيُفْلِتُ؟

DIODORUS SICULUS [1.45] says that the whole region from Thebes to Memphis was filled with royal stalls, so that twenty thousand chariots with two horses in each could be furnished for war. Shall he prosper?--The third time this question is asked, with an indignant denial understood (Eze 17:9-10). Even the heathen believed that breakers of an oath would not "escape" punishment.
افتح المصدر ↗Neither shall Pharaoh, with his mighty army and great company, make for him in the war,.... The king of Egypt, to whom Zedekiah applied for horses and men to help him; though he should come with a great army, and a large multitude of people, yet should be of no use to Zedekiah, nor do any hurt to Nebuchadnezzar, or hinder him from taking Jerusalem: by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons; that is, when Nebuchadnezzar should besiege Jerusalem, and raise mounts, and build fortifications, in order to take the city, and destroy its inhabitants; as he did, Jer 52:4; the Egyptian army should not be able to hinder him going on with the siege, and taking the city; for though the siege was broke up for a time, upon the approach of Pharaoh's army, yet Nebuchadnezzar, having conquered the Egyptians, returned again to the siege of Jerusalem, and took it; see Jer 37:5.
افتح المصدر ↗God was, in the foregoing chapter, reckoning with the people of Judah, and bringing ruin upon them for their treachery in breaking covenant with him; in this chapter he is reckoning with the king of Judah for his treachery in breaking covenant with the king of Babylon; for when God came to contend with them he found many grounds of his controversy. The thing was now in doing: Zedekiah was practising with the king of Egypt underhand for assistance in a treacherous project he had formed to shake off the yoke of the king of Babylon, and violate the homage and fealty he had sworn to him. For this God by the prophet here, I. Threatens the ruin of him and his kingdom, by a parable of two eagles and a vine (Eze 17:1-10), and the explanation of that parable (Eze 17:11-21). But, in the close, II. He promises hereafter to raise the royal family of Judah again, the house of David, in the Messiah and his kingdom (Eze 17:22-24).

لأَنَّهُ لأَجْلِ غَضَبِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَهُوذَا حَتَى طَرَحَهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ وَجْهِهِ، كَانَ أَنَّ صِدْقِيَّا تَمَرَّدَ عَلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ.
وَتَمَرَّدَ أَيْضًا عَلَى الْمَلِكِ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرَ الَّذِي حَلَّفَهُ بِاللهِ، وَصَلَّبَ عُنُقَهُ وَقَوَّى قَلْبَهُ عَنِ الرُّجُوعِ إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،
وَلكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتَ لاَ تَخْرُجُ إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، تُدْفَعُ هذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ لِيَدِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ فَيُحْرِقُونَهَا بِالنَّارِ، وَأَنْتَ لاَ تُفْلِتُ مِنْ يَدِهِمْ».
وَأَنْتَ لاَ تُفْلِتُ مِنْ يَدِهِ، بَلْ تُمْسَكُ إِمْسَاكًا وَتُدْفَعُ لِيَدِهِ، وَتَرَى عَيْنَاكَ عَيْنَيْ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَتُكَلِّمُهُ فَمًا لِفَمٍ وَتَذْهَبُ إِلَى بَابِلَ.
وَكَانَ نَسْرٌ آخَرُ عَظِيمٌ كَبِيرُ الْجَنَاحَيْنِ وَاسِعُ الْمَنْكَبِ، فَإِذَا بِهذِهِ الْكَرْمَةِ عَطَفَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُصُولَهَا وَأَنْبَتَتْ نَحْوَهُ زَرَاجِينَهَا لِيَسْقِيَهَا فِي خَمَائِلِ غَرْسِهَا.
لأَنَّهُ لأَجْلِ غَضَبِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَعَلَى يَهُوذَا حَتَّى طَرَحَهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ وَجْهِهِ، كَانَ أَنَّ صِدْقِيَّا تَمَرَّدَ عَلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ.
وَلكِنْ لاَ يُكَثِّرْ لَهُ الْخَيْلَ، وَلاَ يَرُدُّ الشَّعْبَ إِلَى مِصْرَ لِكَيْ يُكَثِّرَ الْخَيْلَ، وَالرَّبُّ قَدْ قَالَ لَكُمْ: لاَ تَعُودُوا تَرْجِعُونَ فِي هذِهِ الطَّرِيقِ أَيْضًا.
وَيُخْرِجُونَ كُلَّ نِسَائِكَ وَبَنِيكَ إِلَى الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، وَأَنْتَ لاَ تُفْلِتُ مِنْ يَدِهِمْ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تُمْسَكُ بِيَدِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَهذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ تُحْرَقُ بِالنَّارِ».
قُلْ: هكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَلْ تَنْجَحُ؟ أَفَلاَ يَقْلَعُ أُصُولَهَا وَيَقْطَعُ ثَمَرَهَا فَتَيْبَسَ؟ كُلٌّ مِنْ أَوْرَاقِ أَغْصَانِهَا تَيْبَسُ، وَلَيْسَ بِذِرَاعٍ عَظِيمَةٍ أَوْ بِشَعْبٍ كَثِيرٍ لِيَقْلَعُوهَا مِنْ أُصُولِهَا.
إِذِ ازْدَرَى الْقَسَمَ لِنَقْضِ الْعَهْدِ، وَهُوَذَا قَدْ أَعْطَى يَدَهُ وَفَعَلَ هذَا كُلَّهُ فَلاَ يُفْلِتُ.
