The vineyard imagery is significant, as vineyards were common in ancient Israel and symbolized prosperity and blessing. The vine represents the potential for growth and fruitfulness, which was God's intention for Israel as His chosen people. planted by the water it was fruitful and full of branches because of the abundant waters Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points Dependence on God for GrowthJust as the vine depends on water, we must rely on God for spiritual nourishment and growth. Without His sustenance, we cannot bear fruit. Blessings and Responsibility The abundant waters represent God's blessings. With blessings come responsibilities; we are called to use what God provides to bear fruit for His kingdom. Spiritual Fruitfulness Our lives should reflect the fruitfulness of a well-nurtured vine. This means exhibiting the fruits of the Spirit and living in a way that honors God. Warning Against Complacency Israel's history shows that blessings can lead to complacency. We must remain vigilant and faithful, continually seeking God's guidance and strength. Community and Leadership The "mother" vine suggests the importance of strong, godly leadership and community. Leaders and communities should nurture and support spiritual growth.(10) A vine in thy blood.--The figure here changes to the more common one of a vine, yet by no means the "vine of low stature" of Ezekiel 17:6; it is rather a strong and goodly vine. The phrase "in thy blood" is obscure, and has occasioned much perplexity to the commentators. Some of the ancient versions and some manuscripts have modified the text; but the meaning seems to be, if the text is taken as it stands, "Thy mother is like a vine living in the blood (i.e., in the life) of her children." This would then be a statement amplified in the following, "fruitful and full of branches." The general sense is plain: Israel is described as having been planted a strong and fruitful vine, with every advantage for growth and full development.Verse 10. - Another parable comes close upon the heels of the first. Thy mother; sc. Judah or Jerusalem, as the mother of Jehoiachin, who is still in Ezekiel's thoughts, and is addressed by him. In thy blood. (For the comparison of the vine, see Ezekiel 17:6.) No satisfactory meaning can be got out of the words, the nearest being "in thy life, thy freshness," the sap of the vine being thought of as its blood; and critics have been driven to conjectural readings or renderings. The Jewish interpreters, Targum, Rashi, Kimchi, and margin of Revised Version, give, "in thy likeness," sc. "like thee;" Keil, "in thy repose," sc. in the period of quiet prosperity. Hitzig boldly adopts a reading which gives, "a vine climbing on the pomegranate;" but (?). The many waters reproduce the imagery of Ezekiel 17:5. Parallel Commentaries ...
