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 y arranc贸 el reto帽o m谩s alto.Lo llev贸 a un pa铆s de mercaderes,y lo plant贸 en una ciudad de comerciantes.
5 Tom贸 luego semilla de aquel pa铆sy la plant贸 en terreno f茅rtil.La sembr贸 como un sauce,junto a aguas abundantes.
6 La semilla germin贸y se hizo una vid frondosa, de poca altura;volvi贸 sus ramas hacia el 谩guila,y hundi贸 sus ra铆ces bajo s铆 misma.As铆 se convirti贸 en una vidcon reto帽os y exuberante follaje.
7 Pero hab铆a otra 谩guila grande,de gigantescas alas y abundante plumaje.Y la vid volvi贸 sus ra铆cesy orient贸 sus ramas hacia ella,para recibir m谩s aguade la que ya ten铆a.
8 隆Hab铆a estado plantada en tierra f茅rtiljunto a aguas abundantes,para echar reto帽os y dar frutos,y convertirse en una hermosa vid!
