Ezekiel 17:6-10
6Then it sprouted and became a low, spreading vine with its branches turned toward him, but its roots remained under it. So it became a vine and produced shoots and sent out branches. 7 “But there was ▼▼As in several ancient versions; MT one
another great eagle with great wings and much plumage; and behold, this vine turned its roots toward him and sent out its branches toward him from the beds where it was bplanted, so that he might water it. 8It was planted in good ▼▼Lit field
soil beside abundant waters, so that it would produce branches and bear fruit, and become a splendid vine.”’ 9Say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Will it thrive? Will he not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, so that it withers--so that all its sprouting shoots wither? And neither by great ▼▼Lit arm
strength nor by many people can it be raised from its roots again. 10Behold, though it is planted, will it thrive? Will it not ecompletely wither as soon as the east wind strikes it --wither on the beds where it grew?”’”
