Exegesis
The verb titzlach {תִּצְלָח | tiṣ-lā-ḥ} ‘it will thrive’ followed by the interrogative halo {הֲלוֹא | ha-lōʾ} ‘is it not?’ forms a rhetorical question pointing to inevitable failure.
Root and etymology
צ־ל־ח
“to thrive, succeed”
In context — Ezekiel 17:9
Say, “Thus says the Lord God : Will it thrive ? Will he not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit so that all the leaves of its growth wither? It will wither, and by no strong arm or by many people will it be lifted up from its roots.”
