Ezekiel 17:3-5

31saying, ‘Thus says the Lord 2God, “A great 3eagle with 4great wings, long pinions and a full plumage of many colors came to 5Lebanon and took away the top of the cedar.

4He plucked off the topmost of its young twigs and brought it to a land of merchants; he set it in a city of traders.

5He also took some of the seed of the land and planted it in 67fertile soil. He 8placed it beside abundant waters; he set it like a 9willow.
