Alkitab Terjemahan Lama

Maka akan diketahui oleh segala pohon kayu di padang, bahwa Aku ini Tuhan, merendahkan segala pohon yang tinggi dan meninggikan segala pohon yang rendah, bahwa Aku mengeringkan pohon yang hijau dan memperbungakan pohon yang kering itu; bahwa Aku ini, Tuhan, sudah berfirman, dan Aku juga akan menyampaikan dia.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And all the trees of the field shall know,.... All the nations of the World, and the great ones, and the mighty men of the earth, shall know, own, and acknowledge, when the above things are accomplished:

that I the Lord have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: some by the high and green tree understand Zedekiah, who was brought low; and by the "low" and "dry tree", Jeconiah, who was raised by the king of Babylon, Jeremiah 52:11; this is Jarchi's sense, and is mentioned by Kimchi: others, by the former, think Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonish monarchy are intended, which were brought down; and, by the latter, the house of David, and kingdom of Judah, which were exalted: though rather by the one are meant the people of the Jews, once the people of God, but now cast off; and by the other the Gentiles, called by the grace of God, and received by him: though it seems best of all to interpret the "high and green tree" of the mighty kingdoms of this world, which will be put down by Christ; and the "low and dry tree" of his kingdom and interest, which shall flourish and spread abundantly, and be an everlasting kingdom; see Daniel 2:44;

I the Lord have spoken and have done [it]; because the prophecy of it is sure, and because of the certainty of the fulfilment of it, it is said to be done as soon as it was spoken of.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The trees fo the field - The kingdoms of the world as contrasted with the kingdom of God. The truth here enunciated is a general one. God gives the promise, God fulfils it.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 17:24. All the trees of the field shall know — All the people of Israel and of Chaldea.

I the Lord have brought down the high tree — Have dethroned Jehoiachin.

Have exalted the low tree — Put Zedekiah, brother of Jehoiachin, in his place.

Have dried up the green tree — Zedekiah, who had numerous children, but who were all slain before his eyes at Riblah.

And have made the dry tree to flourish — Have raised up a rod out of the stem of Jesse, the family of David being then apparently dried up and extinct. This was the promised Messiah, of the increase and government of whose kingdom and peace there shall be no end; upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order and establish it with judgment and with justice, from henceforth, even for ever. THE ZEAL OF THE LORD OF HOSTS WILL PERFORM THIS.

The high and green tree, says Newcome, refers to Nebuchadnezzar; the low and the dry tree, to the Jews.
