Commentary on Ezekiel 29:9
Egypt's desolation stems from Pharaoh's prideful claim 'the river is mine, and I have made it.' Attributing God's provision to human achievement is the essence of idolatry—making self the ultimate source and authority. Such pride necessitates divine correction through humbling circumstances. God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6).
