This is what the Lord GOD says
This phrase emphasizes the divine authority and certainty of the message. The Hebrew term for "Lord GOD" is "Adonai Yahweh," which underscores God's sovereignty and covenantal relationship with His people. It is a reminder that the words spoken are not merely human predictions but divine declarations, carrying the weight and assurance of God's unchanging nature and His ultimate control over history.

I will put an end
The phrase signifies a decisive action by God. The Hebrew root "shavath" conveys the idea of ceasing or bringing to a halt. This is not a temporary setback for Egypt but a complete cessation of its power and influence. It reflects God's ability to alter the course of nations and serves as a warning of the consequences of pride and idolatry.

to the hordes of Egypt
The term "hordes" refers to the multitude or vast armies of Egypt. Historically, Egypt was known for its military might and numerous forces. The Hebrew word "hamon" can also imply a noisy multitude, suggesting the bustling power and pride of Egypt. God's judgment on these "hordes" illustrates His power over even the greatest earthly powers and His ability to humble those who exalt themselves.

by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
This phrase identifies the instrument of God's judgment. Nebuchadnezzar, a historical figure, was the king of Babylon, known for his military conquests and the expansion of the Babylonian Empire. The phrase "by the hand of" indicates that Nebuchadnezzar is an agent used by God to accomplish His purposes. This highlights the theme of God's sovereignty, where even pagan kings are under His control and can be used to fulfill His divine plans. It serves as a reminder that God can use any means to bring about His will, and His purposes will ultimately prevail.

Verses 10, 11. - By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar. Hitherto (on the assumption that Ezekiel 29:17-21 stands by itself, and that we are still in the prophetic message of Ezekiel 29:1-16) the predictions have been general. Now Ezekiel, following in the footsteps of Jeremiah (Ezekiel 46.), specifies the Chaldean king and his people, the terrible of the nations (as in Ezekiel 28:7; Ezekiel 31:12, et al.), as those who were to execute the Divine judgments.
