Ezekiel 17:1-6 (The Darby Translation)
View In My Bible
1
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2
Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel,
3
and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A great eagle with great wings, long-pinioned, full of feathers, which was of divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar.
4
He cropped off the top of its young shoots, and carried it into a merchants' land; a he set it in a city of traders.
5
And he took of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; b he placed it by great waters, he set it as a willow tree.
6
And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, so that its branches should turn toward him, and the roots thereof be under him; and it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
