Ezekiel 17:23 Douay-Rheims

On the high mountains of Israel will I plant it, and it shall shoot forth into branches, and shall bear fruit, and it shall become a great cedar: and all birds shall dwell under it, and every fowl shall make its nest under the shadow of the branches thereof.

Adam Clarke

1762–1832 Methodist

In the mountain of the height of Israel - He shall make his appearance at the temple, and found his Church at Jerusalem. Shalt bring forth boughs - Apostles, evangelists, and their successors in the Gospel ministry. And bear fruit - Multitudes of souls shall be converted by their preaching. And under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing - All the nations of the earth shall receive his Gospel. In the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell - Trust in him alone for salvation, and be saved in their trusting.
