Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(19) Mine oath . . . my covenant.--Zedekiah's oath and covenant to Nebuchadnezzar are called the Lord's, because made in the Lord's name, and also because He had commanded them. Rebellion against Nebuchadnezzar was, therefore, under the circumstances, apostasy from the Lord Himself.With Ezekiel 17:21 the explanation of the parable ends.
