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 Mais les nations en entendirent parler, et il fut pris dans leur fosse; et, après lui avoir mis des boucles aux narines, elles l'emmenèrent au pays d'Égypte.
5 Quand la lionne vit qu'elle attendait en vain, que tout son espoir était perdu, elle prit un autre de ses petits, et en fit un jeune lion.
6 Il marcha parmi les lions, et devint un jeune lion; il apprit à déchirer sa proie, et dévora des hommes;
7 Il désolait leurs palais, et détruisait leurs villes; le pays avec tout ce qu'il contient fut frappé de stupeur à l'ouïe de son rugissement.
8 Contre lui se rangèrent les nations de toutes les contrées voisines, et elles jetèrent sur lui leurs filets; il fut pris dans leur fosse.
