Ezequiel 19:1 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 19:1

Moreover, take thou up a lamentation
These words are directed to the Prophet Ezekiel, to compose a doleful ditty, a mournful song, such as was used at funerals; and by it represent the lamentable state of the nation of the Jews and their governors, in order to affect them with it, with what was past, and present, and yet to come: for the princes of Israel;
or, "concerning them" ^F19; the princes meant are Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jeconiah, and Zedekiah, who were kings, though called princes, these words being synonymous; or, if so called by way of diminution, the reason might be, because they were tributary, either to the king of Egypt, or king of Babylon.

Ezequiel 19:1 In-Context

1 Y tú, eleva una elegía por los príncipes de Israel,

2 y di: "¿Qué era tu madre? una leona entre leones. Echada en medio de leoncillos, crió a sus cachorros.

3 "Cuando exaltó a uno de sus cachorros, éste se hizo león, y aprendió a desgarrar su presa; devoró hombres.

4 "Entonces oyeron de él las naciones; en su foso fue capturado, y lo llevaron con garfios a la tierra de Egipto.

5 "Cuando ella vio, mientras aguardaba, que su esperanza estaba perdida, tomó otro de sus cachorros y lo hizo un leoncillo.
