Ezekiel 19:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 19:9

7 ¹He knew their desolate places,
And laid waste their cities;
The land with its fullness was desolated
By the noise of his roaring.

8 ^aThen the nations set against him from the provinces on every side,
And spread their net over him;
^bHe was trapped in their pit.

9 ^aThey put him in a cage with¹ chains,
And brought him to the king of Babylon;
They brought him in nets,
That his voice should no longer be heard on ^bthe mountains of Israel.

10 ‘Your mother was ^alike a vine in your bloodline,
Planted by the waters,
^bFruitful and full of branches
Because of many waters.

11 She had strong branches for scepters of rulers.
^aShe towered in stature above the thick branches,
And was seen in her height amid the¹ dense foliage.

12 But she was ^aplucked up in fury,
She was cast down to the ground,
And the ^beast wind dried her fruit.
Her strong branches were broken and withered;
The fire consumed them.

13 And now she is planted in the wilderness,
In a dry and thirsty land.

14 ^aFire has come out from a rod of her branches
And devoured her fruit,
So that she has no strong branch— a scepter for ruling.’ ” ^bThis is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.
