Ezekiel 17:2 In-Context

1 Now the word of the LORD came to me saying,
2 "Son of man, propound a riddle and speak a parable to the house of Israel,
3 saying, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "A great eagle with great wings, long pinions and a full plumage of many colors came to Lebanon and took away the top of the cedar.
4 "He plucked off the topmost of its young twigs and brought it to a land of merchants; he set it in a city of traders.
5 "He also took some of the seed of the land and planted it in fertile soil. He placed it beside abundant waters; he set it like a willow.
