Context of Ezekiel 19:9

7He broke down their strongholds and devastated their cities. The land and everything in it shuddered at the sound of his roaring. 8Then the nations set out against him from the provinces on every side. They spread their net over him; he was trapped in their pit. With hooks they caged him and brought him to the king of Babylon. They brought him into captivity so that his roar was heard no longer on the mountains of Israel. 10Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard, planted by the water; it was fruitful and full of branches because of the abundant waters. 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.
