Commentary on Ezekiel 29:11

Theological / Devotional

Forty years. The state of desolation described in vs. 9-12 must be understood comparatively. The language is that of a poetic prophet who must not be denied the use of the powerful figure of hyperbole. History records no utter depopulation, and no such 40-year period is known.
