Ezekiel 17:22-24

22Thus says the Lord God, “I will also take a sprig from the lofty top of the cedar and set it out; I will pluck from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one and I will plant it on a 1high and lofty mountain.

23On the high mountain of Israel I will plant it, that it may bring forth boughs and bear fruit and become a stately 2cedar. And birds of every 3kind will 4nest under it; they will 5nest in the shade of its branches.

24All the 6trees of the field will know that I am the Lord; I bring down the high tree, exalt the low tree, dry up the green tree and make the dry tree 7flourish. I am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will perform it.”
