Ezekiel 19:14 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

This verse gives you account of the immediate cause of this hasty, furious, total pulling up of this vine. And fire, of rebellion, will be kindled by a rod of her branches, Zedekiah, who is of the blood royal, made king by Nebuchadnezzar, and who swore allegiance to him. Hath devoured her fruit; brought the land, city, king's palaces, and God's temple to utter desolation. She hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule; the regal dignity is ceased, and shall no more rise, you shall never have a crowned head to rule you more. This is a lamentation; this I have told you is the subject of my mournful thoughts. And shall be for a lamentation; my the execution of these things which shall be much more terrible, shall make you lament at sight of them, and at remembrance of them, as long as you live.

Ezekiel 19:14

14 And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
