Ezequiel 17:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 17:6

And it grew
King Zedekiah reigned and prospered, and the kingdom flourished under him: and became a spreading vine of low stature;
not so flourishing as it had been heretofore, in former reigns; it did not rise up to a cedar, as it had been, but was like a vine, which, though flourishing, does not rise up high, but runs upon the ground, and is dependent on something else; so the king and kingdom of Judah, though in tolerable circumstances, yet were humble and dependent on the king of Babylon: whose branches turned towards him;
the eagle, Nebuchadnezzar, to whom the people of the Jews were tributary: and the roots thereof were under him;
they were rooted and settled in their own land, yet under the power, and at the dispose, of the Babylonish monarch: so it became a vine;
a flourishing kingdom in some measure, though attended with some degree of weakness and dependence as a vine: and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs;
increased in people and in riches; particularly the king had many children, so that there was a prospect of a succession, and of a more flourishing estate, and a continuance of it, ( Jeremiah 52:10 ) .

Ezequiel 17:6 In-Context

4 arranc贸 el m谩s alto de sus renuevos, lo llev贸 a una tierra de mercaderes y lo puso en una ciudad de comerciantes.
5 'Despu茅s tom贸 de la semilla de la tierra y la plant贸 en terreno f茅rtil. La puso junto a aguas abundantes; la plant贸 como un sauce.
6 'Brot贸 y se hizo una vid muy extendida, de poca altura, con sus sarmientos vueltos hacia el 谩guila, pero sus ra铆ces quedaron debajo de ella. As铆 se hizo una vid, ech贸 p谩mpanos y se hizo frondosa.
7 'Pero hab铆a otra gran 谩guila de grandes alas y abundante plumaje, y he aqu铆, esta vid dobl贸 sus ra铆ces hacia ella, y hacia ella extendi贸 sus sarmientos desde los surcos donde estaba plantada para que la regara.
8 'En tierra f茅rtil, junto a aguas abundantes estaba plantada, para echar ramas y dar fruto, para hacerse una vid excelente.'"
