1
The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2
Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Yisra'el;
3
and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers, which had various colors, came to Levanon, and took the top of the cedar:
4
he cropped off the topmost of the young twigs of it, and carried it to a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.
5
He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters; he set it as a willow tree.
6
It grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots of it were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
