Ezekiel 19:13

19:13 Now it is planted in the wilderness,

in a dry and thirsty land. ¹ 

Ezekiel 19:10

19:10 “‘Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard, ²  planted by water.

It was fruitful and full of branches because it was well-watered.

Ezekiel 17:8

17:8 In a good field, by abundant waters, it was planted

to grow branches, bear fruit, and become a beautiful vine.

Ezekiel 17:10

17:10 Consider! It is planted, but will it prosper?

Will it not wither completely when the east wind blows on it?

Will it not wither in the soil where it sprouted?’”

[19:13]  ¹ sn This metaphor depicts the Babylonian exile of the Davidic dynasty.

[19:10]  ² tc The Hebrew text reads “in your blood,” but most emend to “in your vineyard,” assuming a ב-כ (beth-kaph) confusion. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 1:284. Another attractive emendation assumes a faulty word division and yields the reading “like a vine full of tendrils, which/because…”; see D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:607, n. 68.
