Ezekiel 19:11

Ezekiel 19:11

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.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Ezekiel 19:10

Ezekiel 19:12 >>

Strong rods - Many excellent persons endowed with qualifications befitting kings, that they might sway the scepter. Exalted - Above the ordinary majesty of other kingdoms. Thick branches - This kingdom equalled, if not excelled, the greatest neighbour - kingdoms, and her kings exceeded all their neighbouring kings, in riches and power.
