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. Ezekiel 31:16 See the marginal references. Ezekiel 31:17 His arm ... - The subject princes who were his strength and support in war. return to 'Top of Page'
