Jezekiel 17:3 In-Context

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 Son of man, relate a tale, and speak a parable to the house of Israel:

3 and thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord; A great eagle with large wings, spreading them out very far, with many claws, which has the design of entering into Libanus—and he took the choice of the cedar:

4 he cropped off the ends of the tender twigs, and brought them into the land of Chanaan; he laid them up in a walled city.

5 And he took of the seed of the land, and sowed it in a field planted by much water; he set it in a conspicuous place.
