Ezekiel 19:13-14

13 1Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
14 2And fire has gone out from the stem of its shoots, has consumed its fruit, 3so that there remains in it no strong stem, no scepter for ruling.This is 4a lamentation and has become a lamentation.

Ezekiel 19:13-14 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL 19

The subject matter of this chapter is a lamentation for the princes and people of the Jews, on account of what had already befallen them, and what was yet to come, Eze 19:1. The mother of the princes is compared to a lioness, and they to lions; who, one after another, were taken and carried captive, Eze 19:2-9; again, their mother is compared to a vine, and they to branches and rods for sceptres, destroyed by an east wind, and consumed by fire, Eze 19:10-14.
