Ezekiel - 17:5 Meaning

“He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

17:1-10 Mighty conquerors are aptly likened to birds or beasts of prey, but their destructive passions are overruled to forward God's designs. Those who depart from God, only vary their crimes by changing one carnal confidence for another, and never will prosper.
