Ezequiel 17:2

Listen to Ezequiel 17:2
2 Hijo de hombre, propón un enigma, y compón una parábola a la Casa de Israel

Ezequiel 17:2 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 17:2

Son of man, put forth a riddle
A dark saying, but a smart one: "whet a whetting" F11, as in the Hebrew; something at first sight difficult to be understood, yet amusing and entertaining; and, when solved, very useful and instructive: and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;
or, "concerning the house of Israel" F12; as the Targum and Syriac version; something relating to them, and what would aptly describe and represent their case; for the prophet was bid to take such a method, not to hide things from them, but rather the more strongly to represent them to them; seeing hereby their attention would be excited, and things would be more fixed in their memories, and they would be put upon studying the meaning of them; and when explained to them, and understood, which was quickly done, they might be the more affected with them.

Ezequiel 17:2 In-Context

1 Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo
2 Hijo de hombre, propón un enigma, y compón una parábola a la Casa de Israel
3 Y dirás: Así dijo el Señor DIOS: Una gran águila, de grandes alas y de largos miembros, llena de plumas de diversos colores, vino al Líbano, y tomó el cogollo del cedro
4 Arrancó el principal de sus renuevos, y lo llevó a la tierra de mercaderes, y lo puso en la ciudad de los negociantes
5 Tomó también de la simiente de la tierra, y la puso en un campo bueno para sembrar, la plantó junto a grandes aguas, la puso como un sauce
