Ezekiel 17:24
The trees - The great ones on earth. The high tree - The kingdom of Babylon, which was brought low indeed, when overthrown by Darius and Cyrus.
Israel Exalted at Last
22 Thus says the Lord God: “I will take also one of the highest abranches of the high cedar and set it out. I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs ba tender one, and will cplant it on a high and prominent mountain.
23 aOn the mountain height of Israel I will plant it; and it will bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a majestic cedar. bUnder it will dwell birds of every sort; in the shadow of its branches they will dwell.
24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I, the Lord, ahave brought down the high tree and exalted the low tree, dried up the green tree and made the dry tree flourish; bI, the Lord, have spoken and have done it.”
