Ezekiel 17:24

Studie

       

24 And it will be clear to all the trees of the field that I the Lord have made low the high tree and made high the low tree, drying up the green tree and making the dry tree full of growth; I the Lord have said it and have done it.

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.
