Ezekiel 17:2-10
2“SonH1121 of manH120, poseH2330 a riddleH2420; speak a parableH4911H4912 toH413 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 3and tell them thatH559 this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559:
‘A greatH1419 eagleH5404 with greatH1419 wingsH3671 and longH750 pinionsH83,1fullH4392 of feathersH5133 of many colorsH7553,cameH935 toH413 LebanonH3844and took awayH3947 the topH6788 of the cedarH730.4He plucked offH6998 its topmostH7218 shootH3242,carried itH935 toH413 the landH776 of merchantsH3667,and plantedH7760 it in a cityH5892 of tradersH7402.5He tookH3947 some of the seedH2233 of the landH776and plantedH5414 it in fertileH2233 soilH7704;2he placedH3947 it byH5921 abundantH7227 watersH4325and set it outH7760 like a willowH6851.6It sproutedH6779 and becameH1961 a spreadingH5628 vineH1612,lowH8217 in heightH6967, with branchesH1808 turnedH6437 toward himH413;yet its rootsH8328 remainedH1961 where it stoodH8478.So it becameH1961 a vineH1612 and yieldedH6213 branchesH905and sent outH7971 shootsH6288.
7But there wasH1961 anotherH259 greatH1419 eagleH5404with greatH1419 wingsH3671 and manyH7227 feathersH5133.And beholdH2009, thisH2063 vineH1612 bentH3719 its rootsH8328 toward himH5921.It stretched outH7971 its branchesH1808 to him from its plantingH4302 bedH6170,so that he might water itH8248.8ItH1931 had been plantedH8362 inH413 goodH2896 soilH7704byH413 abundantH7227 watersH4325in order to yieldH6213 branchesH6057 and bearH5375 fruitH6529and becomeH1961 a splendidH155 vineH1612.’
9So you are to tell themH559 that this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559:
‘Will it flourishH6743?Will it notH3808 be uprootedH5423 and strippedH7082 of its fruitH6529so that it shrivelsH3001?AllH3605 its foliageH2965H6780 will witherH3001!It will not takeH3808 a strongH1419 armH2220 or manyH7227 peopleH5971to pullH5375 it upH853 by its rootsH8328.10Even if it is transplantedH8362,will it flourishH6743?Will it notH3808 completely witherH3001 when the eastH6921 windH7307 strikesH5060?It will witherH3001 onH5921 the bedH6170 where it sproutedH6780.’”
