Felled Cedar of Lebanon

Ezekiel 30:20-31:18
A Lament for Egypt, Pharaoh as felled Cedar of Lebanon.
Who can be compared with you in majesty? Consider Assyria, once a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches overshadowing the forest; it towered on high, its top above the thick foliage. 
On the day it was brought down to the realm of the dead I covered the deep springs with mourning for it; I held back its streams, and its abundant waters were restrained. Because of it I clothed Lebanon with gloom, and all the trees of the field withered away.
Which of the trees of Eden can be compared with you in splendor and majesty? Yet you, too, will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the earth below; you will lie among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the swordThis is Pharaoh and all his hordes(成群), declares the Sovereign Lord.
April 587. Pharaoh Hophra's army had made a half-hearted attempt to relieve besieged Jerusalem, but had been defeated. His power will be yet further broken.
June 587. Egypt is likened to a great cedar tree. Because of its overbearing pride the tree will be felled. Egypt will be removed to the place of the dead.
Why?
Because of its overbearing pride the tree will be felled. Egypt is likened to a great cedar tree. It is the Lord gives water cedar grow up and higher than other trees in forest.
Egypt and Assyria was strong and boast on his power. All of them were felled down.
How?
Dear Lord, please help me don't boast on anything thing or any matter, be aware of your grace and love on me. May my heart and my mind focusing on you.
