16:53. And I will bring back and restore them by bringing back Sodom,
with her daughters, and by bringing back Samaria, and her daughters: and
I will bring those that return of thee in the midst of them.
I will bring back, etc... This relates to the conversion of the Gentiles
out of all nations, and of many of the Jews, to the church of Christ.
16:54. That thou mayest bear thy shame, and mayest be confounded in all
that thou hast done, comforting them.
16:55. And thy sister Sodom and her daughters shall return to their
ancient state: and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their
ancient state: and thou and thy daughters shall return to your ancient
state.
Ancient state... That is, to their former state of liberty, and their
ancient possessions. In the spiritual sense, to the true liberty, and
the happy inheritance of the children of God, through faith in Christ.
16:56. And Sodom thy sister was not heard of in thy mouth, in the day of
thy pride,
16:57. Before thy malice was laid open: as it is at this time, making
thee a reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all the daughters of
Palestine round about thee, that encompass thee on all sides.
16:58. Thou hast borne thy wickedness, and thy disgrace, saith the Lord
God.
16:59. For thus saith the Lord God: I will deal with thee, as thou hast
despised the oath, in breaking the covenant:
16:60. And I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy
youth: and I will establish with thee an everlasting covenant.
16:61. And thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed: when thou shalt
receive thy sisters, thy elder and thy younger: and I will give them to
thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.
16:62. And I will establish my covenant with thee: and thou shalt know
that I am the Lord,
16:63. That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and mayest no more
open thy mouth because of thy confusion, when I shall be pacified toward
thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord God.
Ezechiel Chapter 17
The parable of the two eagles and the vine. A promise of the cedar of
Christ and his church.
17:1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
17:2. Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house
of Israel,
17:3. And say: Thus saith the Lord God; A large eagle with great wings,
long-limbed, full of feathers, and of variety, came to Libanus, and took
away the marrow of the cedar.
A large eagle... Nabuchodonosor, king of Babylon.-Ibid. Came to
Libanus... That is, to Jerusalem.-Ibid. Took away the marrow of the
cedar... King Jechonias.
17:4. He cropped off the top of the twigs thereof: and carried it away
into the land of Chanaan, and he set it in a city of merchants.
Chanaan... This name, which signifies traffic, is not taken here for
Palestine, but for Chaldea: and the city of merchants here mentioned is
Babylon.
17:5. And he took of the seed of the land, and put it in the ground for
seed, that it might take a firm root over many waters: he planted it on
the surface of the earth.
Of the seed of the land, etc... Viz., Sedecias, whom he made king.
17:6. And it sprung up and grew into a spreading vine of low stature,
and the branches thereof looked towards him: and the roots thereof were
under him. So it became a vine, and grew into branches, and shot forth
sprigs.
