Ezekiel 31:9 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I have made him fair; all this greatness, wealth, and glory I have given him. By the multitude of his branches; the numbers of his provinces, and multitude of his subjects, high and low, great and small. Envied him; either did when they saw his greatness, or would have envied if they had seen it; or if there may be a seeming justifiableness in wondering at another's glory, and wishing it our own, here it might be found.

Ezekiel 31:9

9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
