Ezekiel 17:6-8

6It took root there and grew into a low, spreading vine. Its branches turned up toward the eagle, and its roots grew down into the ground. It produced strong branches and put out shoots.

7But then another great eagle came with broad wings and full plumage. So the vine now sent its roots and branches toward him for water,

8even though it was already planted in good soil and had plenty of water so it could grow into a splendid vine and produce rich leaves and luscious fruit.
