Ezekiel 19:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 19:6

And he went up and down among the lions
The kings, as the Targum; kings of neighbouring nations, as Pharaoh king of Egypt, and Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and sometimes he was subject to the one, and sometimes to the offer: and his going up and down among them may denote his continuance as a king; for whereas his brother reigned but three months, he reigned eleven years: he became a young lion;
an oppressive prince, a cruel and tyrannical king: and learned to catch the prey, [and] devoured men;
he was notorious for his acts of injustice and arbitrary power; for the detaining the wages of workmen, and for his oppression, violence, and rapine, and shedding of innocent blood, ( Jeremiah 22:13 Jeremiah 22:17 ) .

Ezekiel 19:6 In-Context

4 Les nations entendirent parler de lui, Et il fut pris dans leur fosse; Elles mirent une boucle à ses narines et l'emmenèrent Dans le pays d'Egypte.
5 Quand la lionne vit qu'elle attendait en vain, Qu'elle était trompée dans son espérance, Elle prit un autre de ses petits, Et en fit un jeune lion.
6 Il marcha parmi les lions, Il devint un jeune lion, Et il apprit à déchirer sa proie; Il dévora des hommes.
7 Il força leurs palais, Et détruisit leurs villes; Le pays, tout ce qui s'y trouvait, fut ravagé, Au bruit de ses rugissements.
8 Contre lui se rangèrent les nations D'alentour, des provinces; Elles tendirent sur lui leur rets, Et il fut pris dans leur fosse.
