Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 30:21

21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.

I have often told thee, I would break, now I tell thee I have broken, partly by the victory of the Chaldaean over Pharaoh Necho, partly by the victory the Cyrenaeans got over Pharaoh Hophra, to raise the siege, from which attempt he fell with shame and loss, but more by Civil Wars.

Hophra or Apries.

And this wound is incurable, it shall never be bound up to be healed, his Arm shall never be strong and fit to encounter a potent Enemy, as once it was.
