30:15
And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.

Meaning

This verse from the book of Ezekiel is a prophecy of God's judgment upon the Egyptian city of Sin, also known as Pelusium, which was a major stronghold and source of strength for Egypt. The word "Sin" means "thorn" in Hebrew, symbolizing the city's role as a thorn in the side of God's people. By pouring out his fury upon Sin, God is demonstrating his power and sovereignty over all nations, including Egypt. The mention of cutting off the multitude of No, also known as Thebes, further emphasizes God's intention to bring destruction upon Egypt and its sources of strength. This verse serves as a reminder of God's justice and his ability to hold even the most powerful nations accountable for their actions. It is a warning to all nations that no one is exempt from God's judgment.
