Ezekiel 17:9
_ _ Shall it prosper? — Could it be that gratuitous treason should prosper? God will not allow it. “It,” that is, the vine.
_ _ he ... pull up — that is, the first eagle, or Nebuchadnezzar.
_ _ in all ... leaves of her spring — that is, all its springing (sprouting) leaves.
_ _ without great power or many — It shall not need all the forces of Babylon to destroy it; a small division of the army will suffice because God will deliver it into Nebuchadnezzar’s hand (Jeremiah 37:10). |
Ezekiel 17:9
Say — Tell them what will be the issue of all this, and tell it to them in my name. It prosper — Shall Zedekiah and his people thrive by this? Pull up — Utterly overthrow this kingdom. Cut Off — Put to the sword the children of Zedekiah, and of the nobles. The leaves — All the promising hope they had shall vanish. Without great power — The king of Babylon shall do this easily, when it is God that sends him. For God needs not great power and many people, to effect his purposes. He can without any difficulty overturn a sinful king and kingdom, and make no more of it than we do of rooting up a tree that cumbers the ground. |
