Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 19:10-14

Ezekiel 19:10-14. Thy mother is like a vine Here another similitude is made use of, and the Jewish nation is compared, as it frequently is in other places, to a vine. In thy blood So the Hebrew and Vulgate; but the LXX. read, ως ανθος εν ροα , as a flower on a pomegranate-tree; and Bishop Newcome, who supposes the LXX. to have read כרמן , and not בדמךְ , renders the clause, like a pomegranate, planted by the waters, &c. “The Jewish nation, whence the royal family had their... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 19:1-14

Mourning for Judah’s kings (19:1-14)Although the prophet realized that God’s judgment on the sinful people of Judah was fitting, he felt sorry for those Judean kings who fell victim to the foreign invaders (19:1). Judah was like a mother lion whose young lions became kings to rule over nations. However, when Egypt in 609 BC gained control of the region, Judah’s king Jehoahaz was captured, bound and taken to Egypt, where he later died (2-4; see 2 Kings 23:31-34).The next ‘lion’ had all the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ezekiel 19:10

"Thy mother was like a vine, in thy blood, planted by the waters: it was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters. And it had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and their stature was exalted among the thick boughs, and they were seen in their height with the multitude of their branches. but it was plucked up in fury, it was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit: the strong rods were broken off and withered; the fire consumed them. And now... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 19:10

Ezekiel 19:10. Thy mother is like a vine, &c.— Thy mother is like a vine, which is planted by the waters. Houbigant. Others read it, Thy mother is like a vine of thy vineyard. We have here a second part of this mournful song, which respects Zedekiah. It is more obscure than the first, possibly because the prophet, speaking of what was future, meant to express himself more darkly. The Scripture frequently compares Judea and the Jewish people to a vine. See Houbigant and Calmet. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 19:10

10. A new metaphor taken from the vine, the chief of the fruit-bearing trees, as the lion is of the beasts of prey (see :-). in thy blood—"planted when thou wast in thy blood," that is, in thy very infancy; as in Ezekiel 16:6, when thou hadst just come from the womb, and hadst not yet the blood washed from thee. The Jews from the first were planted in Canaan to take root there [CALVIN]. GROTIUS translates as the Margin, "in thy quietness," that is, in the period when Judah had not yet fallen... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 19:10-11

Ezekiel changed the figure of the Davidic dynasty to that of a fruitful vine in a vineyard. This vine was fruitful and it flourished because it enjoyed abundant resources. The Davidic dynasty was like a fruitful vine among the other nations because God blessed it (Ezekiel 15:1-6; Ezekiel 17:1-10; Deuteronomy 8:7-8; Psalms 80:8-16; Isaiah 5:1-7; Isaiah 24:7; Isaiah 27:2-6; Jeremiah 2:21; Jeremiah 6:9; cf. Matthew 21:33-41; John 15:1-8). Its branches were so strong that they proved usable as... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 19:1-14

A Lament for the Royal House of JudahThis chapter is a poem in which the measure used for a dirge or elegy is more or less traceable throughout. It describes first a lioness, two of whose whelps are successively caught and taken away from her (Ezekiel 19:1-9), and next a vine with lofty branches, which is ruined by a fire proceeding from one of them (Ezekiel 19:10-14). There is no doubt that the branch from which destruction spreads to the vine is Zedekiah. The vine itself may be the nation of... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 19:10

(10) A vine in thy blood.—The figure here changes to the more common one of a vine, yet by no means the “vine of low stature” of Ezekiel 17:6; it is rather a strong and goodly vine. The phrase “in thy blood” is obscure, and has occasioned much perplexity to the commentators. Some of the ancient versions and some manuscripts have modified the text; but the meaning seems to be, if the text is taken as it stands, “Thy mother is like a vine living in the blood (i.e., in the life) of her children.”... read more
