Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 19:10

The Withering of the Vine. “Your mother was like a vine in your blood, planted by the waters. She was fruitful and full of branches, by reason of many waters. And she had strong rods for the sceptres of those who bare rule, and their stature was raised high among the thick boughs. And he was seen in his height with the multitude of his branches.” The concentration now comes off the kings to Israel-Judah as a whole, and to its destiny. It is likened to a fruitful vine with many thick boughs,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 19:10-14

Ezekiel 19:10-2 Chronicles : . Judah the Vine.— The figure changes, as in Genesis 49:8-2 Kings :, from lion to vine, and the king whose destiny is foreshadowed is this time Zedekiah. Judah is described as a fruitful vine, one of whose mighty branches (Zedekiah) became a royal sceptre ( Ezekiel 19:11). But the vine was violently uprooted, hurled to the ground, withered by the fury of the scorching east wind— a plain allusion to the destruction of Judah by Babylon. It is to be noted, however,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 19:10

The 10th verse begins the second part of the chapter. Thy mother, O thou prince of Israel: see Ezekiel 19:2. Is like a vine; frequently so compared, Psalms 80:8,Psalms 80:14,Psalms 80:15; Isaiah 3:14; Isaiah 5:2; Isaiah 27:2. In thy blood; either when thou wast first born, as Ezekiel 16:6; or, the royal line, thy kingly race; or, in the rigour of thy strength. Planted by the waters, in a very fruitful soil. She was fruitful, and accordingly she did thrive, and brought forth much fruit: see... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 19:10-14

EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel 19:10-14. The prophet laments for the destruction of the kingdom, and banishment of the people, under the parable of a wasted vine.Ezekiel 19:10. “Like a vine in thy blood.” The royal vine of Judah was torn up when Jehoiachin was carried captive to Babylon. That vine was planted afresh in the person of Zedekiah, so that the life of the whole plant depended upon him. The very sap of that royal tree was his blood. Some render, “in thy likeness;” but this is forced, and... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 19:1-14

Chapter 19Moreover, take thou up a lamentation ( Ezekiel 19:1 )So this is a lamentation. Notice at the beginning he says a lamentation and then at the end he said, "This is a lamentation and shall be a lamentation." Now if I were a Bible critic, I would tell you why this wasn't a lamentation. If I were in the school of higher criticism, one of those biblical scholars.Moreover, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, and say, What is thy mother? She's a lioness: she laid down among the... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 19:1-14

Ezekiel 19:2-3 . Thy mother was a lioness she brought up one of her whelps; it became a young lion. These words are cited from Jacob’s testamentary benedictions, in which Judah is called a lion’s whelp. Genesis 49:9. But here the appellation is given in the sense of Isaiah 29:1. “Woe to Ariel;” that is, the lion of God. Belligerent kings are often called lions. St. Paul says of Nero, “God delivered me from the mouth of the lion.” Ezekiel 19:4 . He was taken in their pit. 1 Kings 23:33,... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 19:10

10. Like a vine in thy blood This phrase is exceptionally corrupt and has been translated “on a pomegranate,” “a vine of Carmel,” “in thy likeness,” “in [the time of] thy rest,” etc. Davidson prefers “in her height.” Orelli and Toy think the best suggestion is that of Calmet, who translates, “as a vine of thy vineyard;” Plumptre, “in thy life, thy freshness.” On the figure of speech used see notes Ezekiel 17:6-10. read more
