Ezekiel 19:14 — KJV
Fire is gone out of a rod. Zedekiah’s revolt from Nebuchadnezzar caused that monarch to march his army into Judea, take Jerusalem, and carry the Jews captive to Babylon (2 Kings 25:1-17; see on Ezekiel 17:11-21). Thus an end was put to the vine and its branches.
This is a lamentation. The desolation was only partially accomplished now.
Complete destruction would be cause for further lamentation.
