Ezekiel
Chapter
Ezekiel is written by the prophet of the Exile. The book is divided into two sections; the first denounces the sins and abominations of Jerusalem, and the second looks to the future with the hope that the city will be restored after it has been cleansed. This latter section contains passages strongly messianic in nature.
Ezekiel 17
17:8 It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.
