Ezekiel 29:13-16

Remark, I pray you, Reader, the blessedness of this promise. Egypt, as a Gentile nation, is to be gathered; and though ever after she is to be kept in the greatest humbleness, yea, as a base nation, but this seems to be spoken of as no disadvantage, it is blessed to be vile in our own eyes, if lovely in Christ Jesus before God. For God hath chosen base things of the world, and things which are despised, to bring to nought things that are. 1 Corinthians 1:28. Read that sweet promise, Isaiah 19:18.
