Context — A Lament for the Princes of Israel
11It had strong branches, fit for a ruler’s scepter. It towered high above the thick branches, conspicuous for its height and for its dense foliage.
12But it was uprooted in fury, cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit. Its strong branches were stripped off and they withered; the fire consumed them.
13Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
14Fire has gone out from its main branch and devoured its fruit; on it no strong branch remains fit for a ruler’s scepter.’ This is a lament and shall be used as a lament.”Cross References

Ezekiel 19:13 Summary
This verse, Ezekiel 19:13, describes a tree that has been uprooted and is now planted in a dry and thirsty land, where it is unable to thrive. This can be a picture of what happens when we are disconnected from God, and we feel like we are in a spiritual wilderness. But as described in Jeremiah 17:7-8, if we trust in the Lord, we will be like a tree planted by water, with roots that go deep, and we will not wither in the heat of trials and tribulations. We can seek nourishment and refreshment from God by reading His Word, as described in Psalm 1:1-3, and by trusting in His sovereignty, as described in Romans 8:28.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for the tree to be planted in the wilderness?
According to Ezekiel 19:13, the tree is now planted in a dry and thirsty land, indicating a place of desolation and barrenness, much like the wilderness described in Deuteronomy 8:15, where the Israelites wandered for 40 years.
How does this relate to the uprooting of the tree in the previous verse?
The uprooting of the tree in Ezekiel 19:12, caused by the east wind, has led to its current state of being planted in the wilderness, as described in Ezekiel 19:13, a place where it is unable to thrive or bear fruit, much like the withered branches in Psalm 137:1-3.
What is the spiritual significance of the dry and thirsty land?
The dry and thirsty land may symbolize a spiritual state of drought, where one is devoid of the nourishment and refreshment that comes from God, as described in Isaiah 55:1, where God invites the thirsty to come and drink from the waters of life.
How can we apply this verse to our own lives?
We can apply this verse by recognizing that when we are disconnected from God, we can feel like we are in a spiritual wilderness, but as described in Jeremiah 17:7-8, if we trust in the Lord, we will be like a tree planted by water, with roots that go deep, and we will not wither in the heat of trials and tribulations.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I feel like I am in a spiritual wilderness, and how can I seek nourishment and refreshment from God?
- How can I ensure that my roots go deep into God's Word, so that I can withstand the heat of trials and tribulations, as described in Matthew 7:24-27?
- What are some ways that I can trust in God's sovereignty, even when I feel like I am in a dry and thirsty land, as described in Romans 8:28?
- How can I use my experiences of being in a spiritual wilderness to minister to others who may be going through similar struggles, as described in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 19:13
And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground. Now she is planted in the wilderness. "Planted" - i:e., transplanted.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 19:13
And now; at this present time. She is planted; but, alas! how unlike what she was! a brand pulled out of the burnings, a few of the branches of the last pruning, or a few smaller roots taken up by the provident hand of the Lord of the vineyard, a remnant that might be a nursery, a seedplot; but the much greater part of the vine is, as said, destroyed. It is not said who planted them, but it is easy to conjecture Nebuchadnezzar planted them in policy and for his advantage, they planted themselves out of necessity, and God planted them there in just correcting mercy, and will give them root, and make them thrive, and transplant them after seventy years, and set them on the mountains of Israel again. In the wilderness; so it was to the Jews, a forlorn, dangerous, and necessitous state: though Babylon was in a very fruitful place, yet the savage cruelty and the insulting pride of the Babylonians made it to the Jews as terrible as a wilderness; besides, there were some barren places of this kingdom, to which some of the Jews might be carried and confined. Dry: this and the other expression are a description of the nature of a wilderness, and illustrate what the prophet had spoken, or may be paraphrased by that of David, ; it was dry and thirsty, where no one stream ran from that river which made glad the city of God, .
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 19:13
Ezekiel 19:13 And now she [is] planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.Ver. 13. And now she is planted in a wilderness.] Babylon was no wilderness, but fruitful beyond credulity, But the poor captive Jews had little joy from it, for some time at least. In a dry and thirsty ground.] In terra sicca et sitioulosa. So it was to them, though never so well watered, because they wanted there the waters of the sanctuary, and many other comforts of their own country. See Psalms 137:1-6 Herodot., lib. i. cap. 193; Plin., lib. vi. cap. 26.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 19:13
(13) In a dry and thirsty ground.—Such was Babylon to Israel in its national relations, and even after the return from the exile the Jews never rose again to much importance among the nations of the earth; but meantime they were being disciplined, that at least a few of them might be prepared for the planting among them of that kingdom not of this world, spoken of at the close of Ezekiel 16, which should fill the whole earth.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 19:13
Verse 13. And now she is planted in the wilderness] In the land of Chaldea, whither the people have been carried captives; and which, compared with their own land, was to them a dreary wilderness.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 19:13
13. The deportation of the people from their own land into conditions where national life cannot thrive.
