Ezekiel 17:3-7

3And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; A greatH1419 eagleH5404 with greatH1419 wingsH3671, longwingedH83H750, fullH4392 of feathersH5133, which had many coloursH7553, cameH935 to LebanonH3844, and tookH3947 the highest branchH6788 of the cedarH730:1

4He cropped offH6998 the topH7218 of its young twigsH3242, and carriedH935 it into a landH776 of tradeH3667; he setH7760 it in a cityH5892 of merchantsH7402.

5He tookH3947 also of the seedH2233 of the landH776, and plantedH5414 it in a fruitfulH2233 fieldH7704; he placedH3947 it by greatH7227 watersH4325, and setH7760 it as a willow treeH6851.2

6And it grewH6779, and became a spreadingH5628 vineH1612 of lowH8217 statureH6967, whose branchesH1808 turnedH6437 toward him, and its rootsH8328 were under him: so it became a vineH1612, and brought forthH6213 branchesH905, and shotH7971 forth sprigsH6288.

7There was also anotherH259 greatH1419 eagleH5404 with greatH1419 wingsH3671 and manyH7227 feathersH5133: and, behold, this vineH1612 did bendH3719 her rootsH8328 toward him, and shot forthH7971 her branchesH1808 toward him, that he might waterH8248 it by the furrowsH6170 of her plantationH4302.
