John Trapp on Ezekiel 17:10

Ver. 10. Shall it not utterly wither?] As Jonah's gourd did, when ſmitten with a worm: as Phocas his wall came down with a witneſſe, becauſe built upon mines of gunpowder (ſin lay at the bottom as One told him) which being once fired, would blow up all.

When the Eaſt-wind toucheth it] Which is very hurtful to Vines, ſaith Columella. As all creatures, ſo the winds are Gods Agents: as to purge the air (Rupertus calleth them the beeſoms of the air) and to refreſh mens ſpirits, ſo to execute many of Gods Judgements upon his rebels, as here. Aliorum perditio noſtra ſit cautio: Let other mens deſtruction be our inſtruction.

It ſhall wither in the furrows where it grew] i. e. In Egypt, where it rained not, but was all watered by furrows drawn from Nilus, to run into all their fields. Here this vine ſhould thrive, one would think, if anywhere; viz. in moiſt and fat furrows: but it could not, becauſe blaſted by Gods curſe.
