1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 1"Son of man, 2propound a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel; 3 say, Thus says the Lord GOD: 3A great eagle 4with great wings and long pinions, 5rich in plumage of many colors, came 6to Lebanon 7and took the top of the cedar. 4 He broke off the topmost of its young twigs and carried it to a land of trade and set it in a city of merchants. 5 Then he took of the seed of the land 8and planted it in fertile soil.a He placed it beside abundant waters. 9He set it like a willow twig, 6 and it sprouted and became a 10low 11spreading vine, and its branches turned toward him, and its roots remained where it stood. So it became a vine and produced branches and put out boughs.The English Standard Version is published with the permission of Good News Publishers. (English Standard Version - The Holy Bible Online)
