Albert Barnes Commentary
"And fire is gone out of the rods of its branches, it hath devoured its fruit, so that there is in it no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation." — Ezekiel 19:14 (ASV)
Fire is gone out - Compare the marginal reference. Zedekiah is regarded, like Abimelech, as a complete usurper and the ruin of his people.
