Ezekiel 17:7

7 And there was another eagle with great wings and thick feathers: and now this vine, pushing out its roots to him, sent out its branches in his direction from the bed where it was planted, so that he might give it water.

Commentary

 

Shrub, or plant

  

'A shrub' or 'plant,' as in Genesis 21:15, denotes perception, but so little that it is hardly anything, in same way as 'trees,' but to a lesser degree. So 'to be cast under one of the shrubs,' signifies being destroyed regarding truth and good, to the point of desperation.
