Ezekiel17:24
And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree; have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry to flourish: I the LORD have spoken, and have done it.
The great ones on Earth, all considering persons.
See and confess.
Zedekiah that would neither hearken to me, my Prophets, or to Nebuchadnezzar, or the Kingdom of Babylon, which was brought low indeed, when overthrown by Darius and Cyrus.
Either Iehoiachin's lineage, or the Church which, of low, was exalted by the Lord, bending Cyrus to that work of restoring the Captivity from Babylon, and building the City and house of God; its meaning is the advancing the Kingdom of Christ, and suppressing the Enemies thereof.

The Power, Goodness, and Faithfulness of God, who can do what he pleaseth, and will do what he promiseth, is the assurance of the future accomplishment of his word.
