I był drugi orzeł wielki z wielkiemi skrzydły i gęstem pierzem, a oto macica ta rozciągnęła korzenie swe ku niemu, a podawała gałęzie swe do niego, aby ją odwilżył miescem szczepienia swego.
Ale był orzeł jeden wielki z wielkiemi skrzydłami i z gęstem pierzem, a oto ona winna macica przypoiła korzenie swoje ku niemu, i gałązki swe rozciągnęła do niego, aby ją odwilżał z brózd sadu swego.
Lecz zjawił się inny orzeł, też ogromny, też z wielkimi skrzydłami i pięknie upierzony. I oto ten krzew winny strzelił korzonkami ku niemu, sięgnął go gałązkami, aby dał mu się napić więcej, niż mógł pić dotychczas na swojej grządce.
Ale był jeszcze inny, wielki orzeł, o potężnych skrzydłach oraz obfitym upierzeniu . I oto ta winorośl naginała swoje korzenie ku niemu; w jego stronę roztoczyła swe latorośle, by on ją bardziej zwilżał niż grządki jej sadu.

Ale był inny wielki orzeł o wielkich skrzydłach i gęstym pierzu, a oto ta winorośl zwróciła swoje korzenie ku niemu i rozciągnęła swe latorośle do niego, aby on ją nawadniał z bruzd swego sadu.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
There was also another great eagle,.... Hophra king of Egypt, a very powerful prince, whom Herodotus u calls Apries; and says he was the most happy and fortunate, after Psammitichus, of all the kings that were before; though not so mighty as the king of Babylon; therefore all the same things are not said of the one as of the other:
with great wings and many feathers: had large dominions, but not go extensive as the former, and therefore is not said to be "longwinged" as he; and had "many feathers", but not "full" of them, nor had it such a variety; he had many people, and much wealth, and a large army, but not equal to the king of Babylon:
and, behold, this vine did bend her roots towards him; Zedekiah, and the people of the Jews under him; inclined to an alliance with the king of Egypt, and gave him some private intimations of it:
and shot forth her branches towards him; sent ambassadors to acquaint him with it, Ezekiel 17:15;
that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation; Nebuchadnezzar had planted this vine, and made furrows for the watering of it, and by his means it was become prosperous and flourishing; but Zedekiah, not content with the greatness and glory he had raised him to, sought to the king of Egypt to help him with horses and people, in order to free himself from subjection to the king of Babylon, and to increase his lustre and glory: the allusion is thought to be to the trenches and canals of the river Nile, by which the land of Egypt was watered: the words may be rendered, "out of the rivulets of her plantation" w which best agrees with watering.
u L. 2. sive Euterpe, c. 161. w ×ער××ת ×××¢× "ex rivulis [loci in quo] plantata est", Gussetius, p. 642. such as run between beds in gardens, of which this word is sometimes used; hence some render it "ex areolis", Vatablus, Junius Tremellius, Piscator, Polanus, so Ben Melech or ditches and canals, such as were made out of the river Nile to water the land; "a fossa plantarii sui", Texelius, ut supra, p. 209.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Another great eagle - This is the king of Egypt, mighty indeed but not like the first.
By the furrows of her plantation - From the beds, where it was planted to bring forth fruit for another, it shot forth its roots to him that he might water it. Zedekiah was courting the favor of Egypt while he owed his very position to the bounty of Assyria.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
