Ezekiel 17:5 meaning
In this passage, God uses a poignant riddle to illustrate the deceit and treachery of Zedekiah, the king of Judah. He is likened to a vine that, while capable of thriving independently with abundant resources, chooses instead to seek help from Egypt, represented in the parable by a great eagle. This act symbolizes Zedekiah's betrayal of his covenant with Babylon, as he covertly sought an alliance with Egypt to regain power.
