Ezekiel 17:3-7

3and sayH559, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: A greatH1419 eagleH5404 with greatH1419 wingsH3671 and longH750 pinions, fullH4392 of feathers, which had divers colors, cameH935 unto LebanonH3844, and tookH3947 the top of the cedarH730: 4he cropped off the topmost of the young twigs thereof, and carried it unto a landH776 of traffic; he setH7760 it in a cityH5892 of merchants. 5He tookH3947 also of the seedH2233 of the landH776, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside manyH7227 watersH4325; he setH7760 it as a willow-tree. 6And it grew, and becameH1961 a spreading vineH1612 of lowH8217 statureH6967, whose branchesH1808 turnedH6437 toward him, and the rootsH8328 thereof wereH1961 under him: so it becameH1961 a vineH1612, and brought forthH7971 branchesH1808, and shot forthH7971 sprigs.

7There wasH1961 also another greatH1419 eagleH5404 with greatH1419 wingsH3671 and manyH7227 feathers: and, behold, this vineH1612 did bend its rootsH8328 toward him, and shot forthH7971 its branchesH1808 toward him, from the bedsH6170 of its plantation, that he might waterH8248 it.
