Ezekiel 19:1-14
Take up a lament concerning the princes of Israel and say: What a lioness was your mother among the lions! She lay down among them and reared her cubs. She brought up one of her cubs, and he became a strong lion. He learned to tear the prey and he became a man-eater. The nations heard about him, and he was trapped in their pit. They led him with hooks to the land of Egypt.
Another lion was netted and brought to the king of Babylon.
The third lament described the vineyards were dry and burned.
Why?
No matter how strong you are, when your heart and behavior are away from the Lord, all of this glory and power and property will gone, for all of these are given by the Lord.
How little a human life, is compared with other animals in the world. It is the Lord help us, so we may live and do something.

17章用香柏樹比喻，葡萄樹不安於現狀，彎向埃及
18章自己的罪要自己承擔，兒子不能承擔父親的義。
19章約哈斯、約雅敬、西底加都要承擔自己的罪，約哈斯的父親約西亞的義卻不能傳給他的兒孫。為猶大的最後三個王寫哀歌。神在刑罰以色列人，心也是難過、傷心。
第一隻少壯獅子是指約哈斯，有能力卻錯用能力。第二隻是指約雅敬，武或說是西底加，被帶去巴比倫。從最不可一世的君王，卻像動物一樣被帶走，一點尊嚴也沒有。當人的能力很大時要謙卑，感恩，否則只會傷害人。
用葡萄樹比喻是指西底加王，似乎可以重新振作，重新開始，就有王的尊嚴，神藉著巴比倫來審判，要他在巴比倫之下做王，最後被拔除。東風就是從曠野的風，極乾燥、極熱。
三者都有共同問題，能力強大時，目中無人，做出神不喜悅的事，雖然是約西亞王的後代，義是不能繼承的。
羅12:3 不要看自己過於所當看的；要照着神所分給各人信心的大小，看得合乎中道。

How?
Give thanks to the Lord and obey God's command, intimate God's mind, and way, and do my best to be a good Christian as I can.
