Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

6. went up and down among the lions-imitated the recklessness and tyranny of the surrounding kings (Jer 22:13-17).

catch . prey-to do evil, gratifying his lusts by oppression (2Ki 23:37).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

19:1-9 Ezekiel is to compare the kingdom of Judah to a lioness. He must compare the kings of Judah to a lion's whelps; they were cruel and oppressive to their own subjects. The righteousness of God is to be acknowledged, when those who have terrified and enslaved others, are themselves terrified and enslaved. When professors of religion form connexions with ungodly persons, their children usually grow up following after the maxims and fashions of a wicked world. Advancement to authority discovers the ambition and selfishness of men's hearts; and those who spend their lives in mischief, generally end them by violence.


2 Kings 24:9 He did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done.
2 Chronicles 36:9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and he did evil in the sight of the LORD. (NASB ©1995)
