Ezekiel 17:5

5 He took one of the seedlings ^{▼▼ Heb “took of the seed of the land.” For the vine imagery, “seedling” is a better translation, though in its subsequent interpretation the “seed” refers to Zedekiah through its common application to offspring.} of the land,
placed it in a cultivated plot; ^{▼▼ Heb “a field for seed.”}
a shoot by abundant water,
like a willow he planted it.
