Katakanlah: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Apakah itu akan berhasil? Apakah orang tidak akan mencabut akar-akarnya dan menyentakkan buahnya, sehingga semua ulamnya yang baru menjadi kering? Tidak usah tangan yang kuat dan banyak orang untuk mencabut dia dengan akar-akarnya.
Alkitab Terjemahan Lama
Katakanlah olehmu: Demikianlah firman Tuhan Hua: Bolehkah ia selamat? bukankah dicabutkannya akarnya dan dikeratnya segala buahnya, sehingga keringlah segala daunnya dan layulah segala pucuknya, bahkan, supaya keringlah ia sama sekali? dan lagi tiada tangan yang kuat atau bangsa yang berkuasa akan datang membantu dia, akan memeliharakan dia dari pada dicabut akarnya.

Contextual Overview

1 The worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying: 2 Thou sonne of man, put foorth a parable, & speake a prouerbe vnto the house of Israel, 3 And say, Thus saith the Lorde God: There came a great Egle, with great winges, yea with a mightie long body, and ful of fethers of diuers colours, vppon the mount of Libanus, and toke the hyest braunche of a Cedar tree. 4 And brake of the top of his twigges, and caryed it into the lande of marchauntes, and set it in a citie of marchauntes. 5 He toke also of the seede of the land, and planted it in a fruiteful grounde, he brought it vnto great waters, and set it in an open trenche. 6 Then did it grow, and was a spreading vine, but lowe of stature, whose braunches turned towarde it, and the rootes of it were vnder it: thus there came of it a vine, and it brought foorth braunches, and shot foorth buddes. 7 But there was another Egle, a great one, whiche had great wynges and many fethers: and beholde, the rootes of this vine turned towardes it, and spread out her braunches towards it, that she might water it by the trenches of her plantation. 8 It was planted vpon a good soyle beside great waters, so that it should haue brought out braunches, & borne fruite, and haue ben a goodly vine. 9 Speake thou therfore, thus saith the Lorde God: Shall this vine prosper? shall he not pull vp the rootes therof, and destroy the fruite thereof, and cause them to dry? all the leaues of her bud shall wither without great power, or many people, to plucke it vp by the rootes thereof. 10 Behold, it was planted: Shall it prosper therfore? Shall it not be dryed vp and withered? when the east winde shall touche it, it shall wither in the trenches where it grewe.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Say thou, thus saith the Lord God,.... Tell Zedekiah and his people, in the name of the Lord, what will be the issue of his ingratitude and treachery to the king of Babylon, and his vain confidence in the king of Egypt:

shall it prosper? the vine, the kingdom of Judah, and Zedekiah the king of it; can it be thought that prosperity will attend such conduct as this? was is it ever known that persons guilty of such vices ever succeeded?

shall he not pull up the roots thereof; the first eagle, Nebuchadnezzar, being provoked by the rebellion of the king of Judah and his people; will he not come against them, and utterly destroy them, and root them up from being a people and a nation?

and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? the sons of the king, and of the nobles, and people of the land; so that the kingdom shall be ruined, and no hope left of its ever being restored again; which is the case of a vine when withered:

it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring; whereas it had been a springtime with this vine, under the influence of the king of Babylon, its leaves were green and flourishing; but now should wither, not as leaves do in autumn, which is to be expected, but in spring, which must be fatal; signifying, that in the midst of their prosperity, and when there was the greatest hope and expectation of a continuance and increase of it, utter ruin should come upon them:

even without great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof; signifying with what ease the king of Babylon would take Jerusalem, and the land of Judea, its king and its princes, and utterly destroy them; he would have no need of a large army, or to employ all his forces, a few, were sufficient to do it; even as it does not require many hands to pluck up, a vine by the roots, a single person is equal to it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Her spring - Rather, her growth.

Even without ... - Translate; and not with great power or with much people is it to be raised up from its roots again.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 17:9. Shall it prosper? — Shall Zedekiah succeed in casting off the yoke of the king of Babylon, to whom he had sworn fealty?

Shall he not pull up the roots — Nebuchadnezzar will come and dethrone him.

And cut off the fruit — The children of Zedekiah.

The leaves — All the nobles; all shall perish with Zedekiah.
