The Fall of the Royal Family; Fall of Jehoahaz and Jehoiakim. . 1 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, 2 And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions. 3 And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men. 4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt. 5 Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion. 6 And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men. 7 And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring. 8 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit. 9 And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel. Here are, I. Orders given to the prophet to bewail the fall of the royal family, which had long made so great a figure by virtue of a covenant of royalty made with David and his seed, so that the eclipsing and extinguishing of it are justly lamented by all who know what value to put upon the covenant of our God, as we find, after a very large account of that covenant with David ( Psalms 89:3 ; Psalms 89:20 , c.), a sad lamentation for the decays and desolations of his family ( Isaiah 89:38 ; Isaiah 89:39 ): But thou hast cast off and abhorred, hast made void the covenant of thy servant and profaned his crown, c. The kings of Judah are here called princes of Israel for their glory was diminished and they had become but as princes, and their purity was lost; they had become corrupt and idolatrous as the kings of Israel, whose ways they had learned. The prophet must take up a lamentation for them; that is, he must describe their lamentable fall as one that did himself lay it to heart, and desired that those he preached and wrote to might do so to. And how can we expect that others should be affected with that which we ourselves are not affected with? Ministers, when they boldly foretel, must yet bitterly lament the destruction of sinners, as those that have not desired the woeful day. He is not directed to give advice to the princes of Israel (that had been long and often done in vain), but, the decree having gone forth, he must take up a lamentation for them. II. Instructions given him what to say. 1. He must compare the kingdom of Judah to a lioness, so wretchedly degenerated was it from what it had been formerly, when it sat as a queen among the nations, Ezekiel 19:2 ; Ezekiel 19:2 . What is thy mother? thine, O king? (we read of Solomon's crown wherewith his mother crowned him, that is, his people, Song of Solomon 3:11 ), thine, O Judah? The royal family is as a mother to the kingdom, a nursing mother. She is a lioness, fierce, and cruel, and ravenous. When they had left their divinity they soon lost their humanity too; and, when they feared not God, neither did they regard man. She lay down among lions. God had said, The people shall dwell alone, but they mingled with the nations and learned their works. She nourished her whelps among young lions, taught the young princes the way of tyrants, which was then used by the arbitrary kings of the east, filled their heads betimes with notions of their absolute despotic power, and possessed them with a belief that they had a right to enslave their subjects, that their liberty and property lay at their mercy: thus she nourished her whelps among young lions. 2. He must compare the kings of Judah to lions' whelps, Ezekiel 19:3 ; Ezekiel 19:3 . Jacob had compared Judah, and especially the house of David, to a lion's whelp, for its being strong and formidable to its enemies abroad ( Genesis 49:9 , He is an old lion; who shall stir him up? ) and, if they had adhered to the divine law and promise, God would have preserved to them the might, and majesty, and dominion of a lion, and does it in Christ, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. But these lions' whelps were so to their own subjects, were cruel and oppressive to them, preyed upon their estates and liberties; and, when they thus by their tyranny made themselves a terror to those whom they ought to have protected, it was just with God to make those a terror to them whom otherwise they might have subdued. Here is lamented, (1.) The sin and fall of Jehoahaz, one of the whelps of this lioness. He became a young lion ( Ezekiel 19:3 ; Ezekiel 19:3 ); he was made king, and thought he was made so that he might do what he pleased, and gratify his own ambition, covetousness, and revenge, as he had a mind; and so he was soon master of all the arts of tyranny; he learned to catch the prey and devoured men. When he got power into his hand, all that had before in any thing disobliged him were made to feel his resentments and become a sacrifice to his rage. But what came of it? He did not prosper long in his tyranny: The nations heard of him ( Ezekiel 19:4 ; Ezekiel 19:4 ), heard how furiously he drove at his first coming to the crown, how he trampled upon all that is just and sacred, and violated all his engagements, so that they looked upon him as a dangerous neighbour, and prosecuted him accordingly, as a multitude of shepherds is called forth against a lion roaring on his prey, Isaiah 31:4 . And he was taken, as a beast of prey, in their pit. His own subjects durst not stand up in defence of their liberties, but God raised up a foreign power that soon put an end to his tyranny, and brought him in chains to the land of Egypt. Thither Jehoahaz was carried captive, and never heard of more. (2.) The like sin and fall of his successor Jehoiakim. The kingdom of Judah for some time expected the return of Jehoahaz out of Egypt, but at length despaired of it, and then took another of the lion's whelps, and made him a young lion, Ezekiel 19:5 ; Ezekiel 19:5 . And he, instead of taking warning by his brother's fate to use his power with equity and moderation, and to seek the good of his people, trod in his brother's steps: He went up and down among the lions, Ezekiel 19:6 ; Ezekiel 19:6 . He consulted and conversed with those that were fierce and furious like himself, and took his measures from them, as Rehoboam took the advice of the rash and hot-headed young men. And he soon learned to catch the prey, and he devoured men ( Ezekiel 19:6 ; Ezekiel 19:6 ); he seized his subjects' estates, fined and imprisoned them, filled his treasury by rapine and injustice, sequestrations and confiscations, fines and forfeitures, and swallowed up all that stood in his way. He had got the art of discovering what effects men had that lay concealed, and where the treasures were which they had hoarded up; he knew their desolate places ( Ezekiel 19:7 ; Ezekiel 19:7 ), where they his their money and sometimes hid themselves; he knew where to find both out; and by his oppression he laid waste their cities, depopulated them by forcing the inhabitants to remove their families to some place of safety. The land was desolate, and the country villages were deserted; and though there was great plenty, and a fulness of all good things, yet people quitted it all for fear of the noise of his roaring. He took a pride in making all his subjects afraid of him, as the lion makes all the beasts of the forest to tremble ( Amos 3:8 ), and by his terrible roaring so astonished them that they fell down for fear, and, having not spirit to make their escape, became an easy prey to him, as they say the lions do. He hectored, and threatened, and talked big, and bullied people out of what they had. Thus he thought to establish his own power, but it had a contrary effect, it did but hasten his own ruin ( Ezekiel 19:8 ; Ezekiel 19:8 ): The nations set against him on every side, to restrain and reduce his exorbitant power, which they joined in confederacy to do for their common safety; and they spread their net over him, formed designs against him. God brought against Jehoiakim bands of the Syrians, Moabites, and Ammonites, with the Chaldees ( 2 Kings 24:2 ), and he was taken in their pit. Nebuchadnezzar bound him in fetters to carry him to Babylon, 2 Chronicles 36:6 . They put this lion within grates, bound him in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon, Ezekiel 19:9 ; Ezekiel 19:9 . What became of him we know not; but his voice was nowhere heard roaring upon the mountains of Israel. There was an end of his tyranny: he was buried with the burial of an ass ( Jeremiah 22:19 ), though he had been as a lion, the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. Note, The righteousness of God is to be acknowledged when those who have terrified and enslaved others are themselves terrified and enslaved, when those who by the abuse of their power to destruction which was given them for edification make themselves as wild beasts, as roaring lions and ranging bears (for such, Solomon says, wicked rulers are over the poor people, Proverbs 28:15 ), are treated as such--when those who, like Ishmael, have their hand against every man, come at last to have every man's hand against them. It was long since observed that bloody tyrants seldom die in peace, but have blood given them to drink, for they are worthy. Ad generum Cereris sine cæde et sanguine pauci Descendunt reges et sicca morte tyranni-- How few of all the boastful men that reign Descend in peace to Pluto's dark domain!

**왕실의 몰락 — 여호아하스와 여호야김의 최후**
> "너는 이스라엘 왕들을 위해 슬픔의 노래를 불러라. 너의 어미는 무엇이냐? 사자다. 그녀는 사자들 사이에 누워 젊은 사자들 가운데에서 새끼들을 길렀다. 그녀는 새끼 하나를 길러내었더니 그 새끼는 어린 사자가 되었고 먹이를 잡는 법을 배워 사람을 삼켰다. ..." (에스겔 19:1-9, WEB)
**I. 선지자에게 내려진 명령: 왕실을 위해 애가를 불러라**
하나님께서는 에스겔에게 유다 왕들의 몰락을 애통해하라고 명하신다. 다윗과 그 씨에 대한 왕의 언약 때문에 왕통의 빛이 꺼지고 사라지는 것은 진정 슬퍼해야 할 일이다(시편 89:3, 20 참조). 유다 왕들은 여기서 '이스라엘 왕들'이라 불린다. 그들의 영광이 이미 줄어들어 왕보다는 방백에 가까운 처지가 되었고, 그 순수함마저 잃어 이스라엘 왕들의 길을 배워 타락하고 우상을 섬겼기 때문이다. 선지자는 그들을 위해 애가를 불러야 한다. 곧 그들의 비참한 몰락을 자신도 마음에 새기면서, 독자들도 그렇게 받아들이도록 묘사해야 한다.
우리가 직접 가슴 아파하지 않는 일로 다른 사람들을 감동시킬 수 있을까? 사역자는 죄인의 멸망을 담대히 예언하면서도 그것을 쓴 마음으로 애통해야 한다. 재앙의 날을 바라지 않는 자처럼 말이다. 선지자에게 이스라엘 방백들에게 교훈을 주라는 명령은 없다(그 일은 오래도록 해왔고 아무 소용이 없었다). 이제 심판이 선포된 상황에서 해야 할 일은 오직 그들을 위해 애가를 부르는 것이다.
**II. 선지자에게 주어진 말씀의 내용**
**1. 유다 왕국을 암사자에 비유하다(2절)**
"너의 어미는 무엇이냐?" — 왕이여, 너의 어미는 무엇이냐? (솔로몬이 어미에게 왕관을 받았다는 말은 곧 백성을 뜻하는데, 아가서 3:11 참조). 유다여, 너의 어미는 무엇이냐? 왕실은 왕국의 어미, 곧 양육하는 어미다. "그녀는 사자다"—사납고 잔인하고 탐욕스럽다. 이들이 하나님을 떠나자 곧 인간성도 잃었다. 하나님을 두려워하지 않게 되니 사람도 무시하게 된 것이다. "그녀는 사자들 사이에 누웠다." 하나님께서 "이 민족은 홀로 살 것이다"라고 하셨지만(민 23:9), 이들은 이방 나라들과 섞여 그 행위를 배웠다. "젊은 사자들 가운데에서 새끼들을 길렀다"—어린 왕자들에게 동방 전제군주들의 방식을 가르쳤다. 백성의 자유와 재산은 자기들 뜻대로 할 수 있다는 독재적 권력 개념을 어릴 때부터 심어주었다.
**2. 유다 왕들을 사자 새끼에 비유하다(3절)**
야곱은 유다, 특히 다윗 왕조를 사자 새끼에 비유했다(창세기 49:9 — "그는 오래된 사자이니 누가 그를 건드리겠느냐?"). 만약 이들이 하나님의 율법과 약속에 머물렀다면 하나님께서 사자의 힘과 위엄과 지배력을 보존해 주셨을 것이다. 그리고 그 약속은 유다 지파의 사자이신 그리스도 안에서 이루어진다. 그러나 이 사자 새끼들은 자기 백성에게 그렇게 행동했다. 마땅히 보호해야 할 자들의 재산과 자유를 빼앗고 짓밟았다. 그들이 폭정으로 자신들의 보호 대상에게 공포의 존재가 되었으니, 하나님께서 다른 나라들로 하여금 그들에게 공포의 존재가 되게 하신 것은 당연한 일이었다.
**(1) 여호아하스의 죄와 몰락(3-4절)**
"그 새끼는 어린 사자가 되었다"(3절)—그가 왕이 되자 자기 뜻대로 무엇이든 할 수 있다고 생각했다. 야망, 탐욕, 복수심을 마음껏 채울 수 있다고 여겼다. 그래서 그는 금세 폭정의 기술을 익혔다. "먹이를 잡는 법을 배워 사람을 삼켰다"(3절). 권력을 손에 쥐자 자신을 조금이라도 거스른 모든 자를 제물로 삼았다.
그러나 결과는 어떠했는가? "여러 나라들이 그에 대해 들었다"(4절)—그가 즉위 초부터 얼마나 무섭게 폭주하는지, 모든 의로운 것과 거룩한 것을 짓밟고 모든 약속을 저버리는지 들었다. 그래서 이웃 나라들은 그를 위험한 존재로 보고 이사야 31:4처럼 먹이를 노리는 사자에게 목동 무리가 몰려들듯 그를 추격했다. 그는 짐승처럼 함정에 걸렸다. 자국 백성은 자신들의 자유를 지키려 나서지 못했지만, 하나님께서 외세를 일으켜 그의 폭정에 종지부를 찍으셨다. 그는 쇠사슬에 묶여 이집트로 끌려갔고, 다시는 소식이 들리지 않았다.
**(2) 후계자 여호야김의 죄와 몰락(5-9절)**
유다 왕국은 한동안 여호아하스가 이집트에서 돌아오기를 기다렸지만 결국 포기하고, 또 다른 사자 새끼를 왕으로 세웠다(5절). 그는 형의 전철을 밟아 경고를 무시하고 형평과 온유로 권력을 사용하거나 백성의 유익을 구하는 대신 형과 같은 길을 걸었다.
"그는 사자들 사이를 돌아다녔다"(6절)—자신처럼 사납고 포악한 자들과 어울리며 그들의 방식을 따랐다. 르호보암이 경솔하고 혈기 넘치는 젊은이들의 충고를 따른 것처럼. "그는 먹이 잡는 법을 배워 사람을 삼켰다"(6절)—백성의 재산을 빼앗고, 벌금과 투옥으로 창고를 채우고, 강탈과 불의로 재정을 불렸다. 몰수와 압류, 벌금과 과료로 자기 앞을 막는 모든 자를 집어삼켰다.
"그는 황폐한 곳들을 알았다"(7절)—사람들이 돈을 숨겨두거나 때로 몸을 피하는 장소를 꿰뚫고 있었다. 그의 압제로 성읍들이 황폐해지고 주민들이 재산을 지키기 위해 피난처를 찾아 떠났다. 그의 포효 소리가 워낙 무서워서 — 마치 아모스 3:8처럼 사자가 울부짖어 모든 짐승을 떨게 하듯 — 사람들은 정신이 혼미해져 자리에 쓰러지고, 기력을 잃은 채 쉬운 먹잇감이 되었다.
그런데 이 같은 폭정이 오히려 그의 몰락을 재촉했다(8절). "여러 나라들이 사방에서 그를 에워쌌다"—그의 과도한 권력을 억제하고 무너뜨리기 위해 공동으로 연합했다. 그들은 그에게 그물을 쳤고, 하나님께서 시리아, 모압, 암몬의 군대와 갈대아 군대를 여호야김에게 보내셨다(열왕기하 24:2). 결국 그는 함정에 걸렸다. 느부갓네살이 그를 바벨론으로 데려가려 쇠사슬로 묶었다(역대하 36:6). "그들이 그를 가두어 쇠사슬로 묶고 바벨론 왕에게 데려갔다"(9절). 그의 이후 행방은 알 수 없지만, 이스라엘 산들 위에서 그의 포효 소리가 다시는 들리지 않았다. 그의 폭정이 끝났다. 그는 나귀의 장사로 묻혔다(예레미야 22:19)—땅의 생존자들에게 공포의 존재였던 사자처럼 행동했음에도 불구하고.
[참고] 하나님의 의로우심을 인정해야 한다. 다른 사람을 공포에 떨게 하고 노예로 삼은 자들이 스스로 공포에 떨고 노예가 되는 것은 마땅하다. 하나님의 창조 목적—세워주기 위한 권세—을 파괴하는 데 사용한 자들이 마치 맹수처럼—포효하는 사자와 날뛰는 곰처럼(잠언 28:15)—대우받는 것은 정의다. 이스마엘처럼 모든 사람에게 손을 들었던 자는 결국 모든 사람의 손이 자신을 향하게 된다. 피에 굶주린 폭군들은 좀처럼 평화롭게 죽지 않고, 피를 마시게 되는 법이다.

E Z E K I E L. CHAP. XIX. The scope of this chapter is much the same with that of the 17th, to foretel and lament the ruin of the house of David, the royal family of Judah, in the calamitous exit of the four sons and grandsons of Josiah--Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jeconiah, and Zedekiah, in whom that illustrious line of kings was cut off, which the prophet is here ordered to lament, Ezekiel 19:1 . And he does it by similitudes. I. The kingdom of Judah and house of David are here compared to a lioness, and those princes to lions, that were fierce and ravenous, but were hunted down and taken in nets, Ezekiel 19:2-9 . II. That kingdom and that house are here compared to a vine, and these princes to branches, which had been strong and flourishing, but were now broken off and burnt, Ezekiel 19:10-14 . This ruin of that monarchy was now in the doing, and this lamentation of it was intended to affect the people with it, that they might not flatter themselves with vain hopes of the lengthening out of their tranquility. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-9" class="com-number"

이 장의 주제는 17장과 크게 다르지 않다. 다윗 왕조, 곧 유다 왕실의 몰락을 예언하고 애통해하는 것이다. 구체적으로는 요시야의 아들과 손자 넷—여호아하스, 여호야김, 여고냐, 시드기야—의 비참한 최후를 다룬다. 이 인물들을 끝으로 그 찬란한 왕통이 끊어졌으며, 선지자는 이를 애가로 부르라는 명을 받는다(에스겔 19:1).
헨리는 이 애가를 두 비유로 설명한다. 첫째, 유다 왕국과 다윗 왕실을 암사자에 비유하고 왕들을 사자 새끼에 비유한다—사납고 탐욕스럽지만 결국 사냥당한 사자들(에스겔 19:2-9). 둘째, 그 왕국과 왕실을 포도나무에 비유하고 왕들을 가지에 비유한다—한때 강하고 무성했으나 이제 꺾이고 불에 탄 가지들(에스겔 19:10-14). 왕조의 멸망은 이미 진행 중이었고, 이 애가는 백성이 헛된 평화의 꿈에서 깨어 현실을 직시하도록 하기 위한 것이었다.

The Fall of the Royal Family. . 10 Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters. 11 And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches. 12 But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them. 13 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground. 14 And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation. Jerusalem, the mother-city, is here represented by another similitude; she is a vine, and the princes are her branches. This comparison we had before, Ezekiel 15:1 ; Ezekiel 15:1 . Jerusalem is as a vine; the Jewish nation is so: Like a vine in they blood ( Ezekiel 19:10 ; Ezekiel 19:10 ), the blood-royal, like a vine set in blood and watered with blood, which contributes very much to the flourishing and fruitfulness of vines, as if the blood which had been shed had been designed for the fattening and improving of the soil, in such plenty was it shed; and for a time it seemed to have that effect, for she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of the waters, the many waters near which she was planted. Places of great wickedness may prosper for a while; and a vine set in blood may be full of branches. Jerusalem was full of able magistrates, men of sense, men of learning and experience, that were strong rods, branches of this vine of uncommon bulk and strength, or poles for the support of this vine, for such magistrates are. The boughs of this vine had grown to such maturity that they were fit to make white staves of for the sceptres of those that bore rule, Ezekiel 19:11 ; Ezekiel 19:11 . And those are strong rods that are fit for sceptres, men of strong judgments and strong resolutions that are fit for magistrates. When the royal family of Judah was numerous, and the courts of justice were filled with men of sense and probity, then Jerusalem's stature was exalted among thick branches; when the government is in good able hands a nation is thereby made considerable Then she was not taken for a weak and lowly vine, but she appeared in her height, a distinguished city, with the multitude of her branches. Tanquam lenta solent inter viburna cupressi--Midst humble withies thus the cypress soars. "In thy quietness " (so some read that, Ezekiel 19:10 ; Ezekiel 19:10 , which we translate in thy blood ) "thou wast such a vine as this." When Zedekiah was quiet and easy under the king of Babylon's yoke his kingdom flourished thus. See how slow God is to anger, how he defers his judgments, and waits to be gracious. 2. This vine is now quite destroyed. Nebuchadnezzar, being highly provoked by Zedekiah's treachery, plucked it up in fury ( Ezekiel 19:12 ; Ezekiel 19:12 ), ruined the city and kingdom, and cut off all the branches of the royal family that fell in his way. The vine was cut off close to the ground, though not plucked up by the roots. The east wind dried up the fruit that was blasted. The young people fell by the sword, or were carried into captivity. The aspect of it had nothing that was pleasing, the prospect nothing that was promising. Her strong rods were broken and withered; her great men were cut off, judges and magistrates deposed. The vine itself is planted in the wilderness, Ezekiel 19:13 ; Ezekiel 19:13 . Babylon was as a wilderness to those of the people that were carried captives thither; the land of Judah was as a wilderness to Jerusalem, now that the whole country was ravaged and laid waste by the Chaldean army--a fruitful land turned into barrenness. "It is burnt with fire ( Psalms 80:16 ) and that fire has gone out of a rod of her branches ( Ezekiel 19:14 ; Ezekiel 19:14 ); the king himself, by rebelling against the king of Babylon, has given occasion to all this mischief. She may thank herself for the fire that consumes her; she has by her wickedness made herself like tinder to the sparks of God's wrath, so that her own branches serve as fuel for her own consumption; in them the fire is kindled which devoured the fruit, the sins of the elder being the judgments which destroy the younger; her fruit is burned with her own branches, so that she has no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule, none to be found now that are fit for the government or dare take this ruin under their hand, as the complaint is ( Isaiah 3:6 ; Isaiah 3:7 ), none of the house of David left that have a right to rule, no wise men, or men of sense, that are able to rule." It goes ill with any state, and is likely to go worse, when it is thus deprived of the blessings of government and has no strong rods for sceptres. Woe unto thee, O land! when thy king is a child, for it is as well to have no rod as not a strong rod. Those strong rods, we have reason to fear, had been instruments of oppression, assistant to the king in catching the prey and devouring men, and now they are destroyed with him. Tyranny is the inlet to anarchy; and, when the rod of government is turned into the serpent of oppression, it is just with God to say, "There shall be no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule; but let men be as are the fishes of the sea, where the greater devour the less." Note, This is a lamentation and shall be for a lamentation. The prophet was bidden ( Ezekiel 19:1 ; Ezekiel 19:1 ) to take up a lamentation; and, having done so, he leaves it to be made use of by others. " It is a lamentation to us of this age, and, the desolations continuing long, it shall be for a lamentation to those that shall come after us; the child unborn will rue the destruction made of Judah and Jerusalem by the present judgments. They were a great while in coming; the bow was long in the drawing; but now that they have come they will continue, and the sad effects of them will be entailed upon posterity." Note, Those who fill up the measure of their fathers' sins are laying up in store for their children's sorrows and furnishing them with matter for lamentation; and nothing is more so than the overthrow of government. return to ' Top of Page ' Ezekiel Ezk 18 Ezekiel Ezk Ezekiel Ezk 20 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain and are a derivative of an electronic edition that is available on the Christian Classics Ethereal Library Website.

**왕실의 몰락 — 포도나무 비유**
> "너의 어미는 네 피 속에서 물 가에 심긴 포도나무 같았다. 많은 물 때문에 열매가 많고 가지가 무성했다. 그 가지들은 통치자들의 홀로 쓸 강한 나뭇가지들이었다. 그 키는 빽빽한 가지 사이로 높아졌고, 높은 데 서서 많은 가지들과 함께 두드러졌다. ..." (에스겔 19:10-14, WEB)
**1. 전성기의 유다(10-11절)**
예루살렘은 여기서 또 다른 비유로 묘사된다. 그녀는 포도나무요, 왕들은 그 가지다. 에스겔 15장에서도 이미 이 비유를 사용했다. "너의 피 속에서처럼 네 어미는 포도나무다"(10절)—왕족의 피 속에서, 마치 피로 물이 된 땅에 심겨 피를 먹고 자란 포도나무처럼. 그런 풍요 속에서도 한동안은 번성했다. "많은 물 때문에 열매가 많고 가지가 무성했다"(10절)—그녀가 심긴 물 가 덕분에.
악이 넘치는 곳도 한동안은 번성할 수 있다. 피로 물든 땅에 심긴 포도나무도 가지가 무성할 수 있다. 예루살렘에는 유능한 관리들—지식과 경험을 갖춘 강한 나뭇가지들, 이 포도나무를 지탱하는 기둥들—이 가득했다. 이 포도나무의 가지들은 충분히 자라 통치자들의 홀로 쓸 하얀 지팡이를 만들기에 적합했다(11절). 강한 판단력과 강한 결단력을 가진 자들이 관리가 될 자격이 있다. 왕국의 통치가 유능한 자들의 손에 있을 때 국가는 두각을 나타낸다. "그 키가 빽빽한 가지 사이로 높아졌다"—정부가 능력 있는 자들의 손에 있을 때 나라가 훌륭해진다. 그때 예루살렘은 연약하고 낮은 포도나무가 아니라 많은 가지들과 함께 높이 서서 두드러지는 나무였다.
"너의 평화 속에서"(어떤 이들은 10절의 "너의 피 속에서"를 이렇게 읽는다)—"그때 너는 이런 포도나무였다." 시드기야가 바벨론 왕의 멍에 아래 조용히 있을 때 왕국이 이처럼 번성했다. 하나님께서 얼마나 더디 노하시고, 심판을 미루시며, 은혜를 베풀기 위해 기다리시는지 보라.
**2. 포도나무의 완전한 파괴(12-14절)**
"그러나 그녀는 분노로 뽑혔다"(12절)—시드기야의 배신에 격노한 느부갓네살이 성과 왕국을 무너뜨리고, 왕실의 모든 가지들을 손에 닿는 대로 잘라버렸다. 포도나무는 뿌리째 뽑히지는 않았지만 땅에 바짝 잘렸다. "동풍이 그 열매를 말렸다"—젊은이들은 전쟁에서 죽거나 포로로 끌려갔다. 그 모습은 보기에도 즐겁지 않고, 전망도 희망적이지 않았다. "강한 나뭇가지들이 꺾이고 시들었다"—위대한 인물들이 잘렸고, 재판관과 관리들이 폐위되었다. 포도나무 자체가 광야에 심겼다(13절)—포로로 끌려간 백성에게 바벨론은 광야나 다름없었다. 유다 땅은 갈대아 군대에게 모두 유린당해 황무지가 되어버린 예루살렘에게 광야나 다름없었다.
"불이 그 가지 하나에서 나와 열매를 삼켰다"(14절)—왕 자신이 바벨론 왕에게 반역하여 이 모든 재앙을 자초했다. 그녀는 스스로 부른 불을 탓해야 한다. 자신의 악으로 스스로를 하나님의 진노에 불쏘시개가 되게 했다. 그래서 자기 가지들이 스스로를 태우는 연료가 된 것이다. "통치할 강한 나뭇가지가 없다"(14절)—지금 정부를 맡을 능력도 용기도 있는 자가 없다. 이사야 3:6-7의 탄식처럼 다윗 왕가에 남은 이도 없고, 지혜롭거나 능력 있어 다스릴 자도 없다.
국가가 이렇게 통치의 복을 빼앗기면 상황이 최악이고, 더 나빠질 것이다. 왕이 어릴 때 화가 있다고 하지만(전 10:16), 강한 나뭇가지가 없는 것도 마찬가지로 비참하다. 그 강한 나뭇가지들은 아마도 압제의 도구였을 것이다—먹이를 잡고 사람을 삼키는 왕을 돕는 공범들. 이제 그들은 왕과 함께 멸망한다. 폭정은 무정부 상태의 입구다. 통치의 홀이 압제의 뱀으로 변할 때, 하나님께서 "더 이상 강한 나뭇가지가 없을 것이다—통치할 왕홀이 없을 것이다"라고 말씀하시는 것은 지당하다.
[참고] "이것은 슬픔의 노래이며, 슬픔의 노래가 될 것이다"(14절). 선지자는 앞서 애가를 지으라는 명을 받았고(1절), 그 사명을 완수했다. "이 시대의 우리에게는 슬픔의 노래다. 황폐함이 오래 지속될 것이므로 우리 뒤에 오는 자들에게도 슬픔의 노래가 될 것이다. 아직 태어나지 않은 아이들도 현재의 심판으로 인해 유다와 예루살렘이 파괴된 것을 슬퍼할 것이다. 재앙이 오기까지 오래 걸렸다. 활을 당기는 데 시간이 걸렸다. 그러나 이제 임했으니 계속될 것이고, 그 슬픈 결과는 후세에게 유산이 될 것이다." 선조들의 죄의 분량을 채운 자들은 자녀들의 슬픔을 쌓고 있다. 이보다 더 큰 슬픔의 씨앗은 없다—바로 정부의 전복이다.
