Ezekiel 17:9 is part of a parable where God uses the imagery of a vine to illustrate Israel's situation. The vine, planted in good soil, is now questioned about its ability to thrive after being uprooted. This reflects God's judgment and the consequences of Israel's actions, emphasizing the hopelessness of their condition if they turn away from Him.

The Key Word — תִּצְלָ֑ח, titz.Lachgenerated
The verb צָלַח (tzalach) means 'to prosper' or 'to succeed.' It conveys the idea of rushing forward or making progress. In this context, it questions whether the vine can still thrive after being uprooted, indicating a lack of hope for success.
The parsing as an imperfect third person feminine singular suggests that the subject is the vine, emphasizing its inability to flourish under the described conditions. This word encapsulates the theme of potential failure and the consequences of disconnection from its source.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The translations generally agree on the meaning of תִּצְלָ֑ח, using terms like flourish (BSB, KJV) and prosper (ASV, WEB).
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb תִּצְלָ֑ח (tizlach) governs the sentence, with several clauses providing details about the vine's fate. The structure emphasizes the conditional nature of the vine's success based on its circumstances.
The sentence presents a series of questions and statements about the vine, illustrating the consequences of uprooting and stripping, which all contribute to the overall message of despair regarding the vine's future.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates תִּצְלָ֑ח as ἐπιτυχήσεται (epitychēsetai), which means 'to succeed' or 'to happen.' This choice aligns with the Hebrew meaning but may carry a slightly different nuance regarding the vine's fate.
This translation reflects a similar concern about the vine's ability to thrive, further emphasizing the hopelessness of its condition if uprooted.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Ezekiel 17:9 presents a message from God questioning whether a vine can thrive after being uprooted. The verse emphasizes that without its roots, the vine cannot flourish, illustrating Israel's dire situation if they turn away from God.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
To flourish means to grow or succeed, indicating that the vine is healthy and thriving when properly rooted.
Uprooting symbolizes a loss of stability and nourishment, leading to the vine's inability to thrive.
The verse suggests that if Israel is disconnected from God, their future is bleak, much like the uprooted vine.
Ezekiel often uses metaphors and allegories to convey God's judgment and the consequences of disobedience, with the vine serving as a powerful image of Israel's plight.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- In what ways can I ensure I remain rooted in my faith to avoid spiritual uprooting?

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) Of her spring.—Our translators probably intended by this word, as they evidently did in Psalms 65:10, “her springing forth,” her growth; but it would be’ better now to substitute the word growth,Pluck it up by the roots.—The word here is a different one from the “pull up “in the earlier part of the verse, and has rather the sense of raise up from the roots.” The whole clause would be better translated, “not even with great power and many people is it to be raised up from its roots again.” The meaning is explained in Ezekiel 17:17, that the strength of Pharaoh would be utterly insufficient to restore the people whom God had blighted.

Lord
There are various Hebrew and Greek words so rendered.
(1.) Heb. Jehovah, has been rendered in the English Bible LORD, printed in small capitals. This is the proper name of the God of the Hebrews. The form “Jehovah” is retained only in Ex. 6:3; Ps. 83:18; Isa. 12:2; 26:4, both in the Authorized and the Revised Version.
(2.) Heb. ‘adon, means one possessed of absolute control. It denotes a master, as of slaves (Gen. 24:14, 27), or a ruler of his subjects (45:8), or a husband, as lord of his wife (18:12).
The old plural form of this Hebrew word is ’adonai. From a superstitious reverence for the name “Jehovah,” the Jews, in reading their Scriptures, whenever that name…
[GOD]
This name belongs to God by preeminence; and in this sense ought never to be given to any creature. Jesus Christ, as the Messiah, the Son of God, and equal with the Father, is often called Lord in Scripture, especially in the writing of Paul. The word LORD, in the English Bible, when printed in small capitals, stands always for JEHOVAH in the Hebrew. See JEHOVAH.
יְהֹוִה (Yhovih) is a variation of the name יָהְוֶה (Yahweh), which is the proper name of the God of Israel. It is often used in combination with other terms, such as 'Lord Jehovah.' The name is significant in the context of the Old Testament, particularly in Exodus 3:12-15, where it is revealed to Moses.
יהוה c. 6823 i.e. יַהְוֶה n.pr.dei Yahweh, the proper name of the God of Israel—(1. MT יְהֹוָה 6518 (Qr אֲדֹנָי), or יֱהֹוִה 305 (Qr אֱלֹהִים) 2. Many recent scholars explain יַהְוֶה as Hiph. of הוה (= היה) the one bringing into being, life-giver)
יהוה is not used by E in Gn, but is given Ex 3:12-15 as the name of the God who revealed Himself to Moses at Horeb
יהוה is used with אלהים and suffixes, especially in D
the phrase † אֲנִי יהוה is noteworthy
יהוה is also used with several predicates, to form sacred names of holy places of Yahweh

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

Of these, in the Old Testament, `am, is overwhelmingly the most common (about 2,000 times), with le'om, and goy, next in order; but the various Hebrew words are used with very little or no difference in force (e.g. Pr 14:28; but, on the other hand, in Ps 44 contrast verses 12 and 14). Of the changes introduced by the Revised Version (British and American) the only one of significance (cited explicitly in the Preface to the English Revised Version) is the frequent use of the plural "peoples" (strangely avoided in the King James Version except Re 10:11; 17:15), where other nations than Israel are in question.
