Ezekiel 17:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Ezekiel 17:8
God's rhetorical question emphasizes the vine's already favorable position—it was 'planted in a good soil by great waters.' Babylon had treated Judah reasonably well as a vassal state. The vine could become 'a goodly vine,' bearing fruit for God even in subjugation. This reveals: God's purposes can be fulfilled under difficult circumstances. Zedekiah's rebellion stemmed from pride, not oppression. The passage challenges the assumption that political independence equals spiritual faithfulness.
