Ezekiel 19:10

Thy mother is like a vine, &c.— Thy mother is like a vine, which is planted by the waters. Houbigant. Others read it, Thy mother is like a vine of thy vineyard. We have here a second part of this mournful song, which respects Zedekiah. It is more obscure than the first, possibly because the prophet, speaking of what was future, meant to express himself more darkly. The Scripture frequently compares Judea and the Jewish people to a vine. See Houbigant and Calmet.
