Ezekiel 19:10 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The 10th verse begins the second part of the chapter. Thy mother, O thou prince of Israel: see Ezekiel 19:2. Is like a vine; frequently so compared, Psalms 80:8,14,15 Isa 3:14 5:2 27:2. In thy blood; either when thou wast first born, as Ezekiel 16:6; or, the royal line, thy kingly race; or, in the rigour of thy strength. Planted by the waters, in a very fruitful soil. She was fruitful, and accordingly she did thrive, and brought forth much fruit: see Ezekiel 17:8. Though she lost many thousands carried away, yet more were born, bred up, and trained up to useful arts and employments, say some; but this too general. The royal family did spring like a vine well watered. Full of branches; full of children; when Josiah died he left four behind him, beside other branches of the royal line.

Ezekiel 19:10

10 Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
