  • Ezek 17:3-9 : 3 Say this: ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: A great eagle with powerful wings, long feathers, and full of colorful plumage came to Lebanon and took the top of a cedar tree. 4 It plucked the highest branch and carried it to the land of merchants, where it planted it in a city of traders. 5 Then it took some of the seed of the land and planted it in fertile soil, placing it by abundant waters like a willow. 6 The plant sprouted and became a low, spreading vine, with its branches facing the eagle and its roots growing beneath it. So it became a vine, produced branches, and sent out leaves. 7 But there was another great eagle with powerful wings and abundant feathers. And behold, the vine bent its roots toward it and stretched its branches toward the eagle to be watered from the surrounding garden. 8 It was planted in fertile soil by abundant waters to produce branches, bear fruit, and become a splendid vine. 9 Say, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: Will it thrive? Will it not be uprooted and its fruit stripped so that it withers? All its new growth will wither. It will not take a great effort or many people to pull it out by its roots. 10 Even if transplanted, will it thrive? Will it not completely wither when the east wind strikes it, drying up in the very garden bed where it grew?’
  • Ezek 17:22-24 : 22 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I Myself will take a branch from the top of a lofty cedar and plant it. I will break off a tender sprig from its topmost shoots, and I will plant it on a high and lofty mountain. 23 I will plant it on the high mountain of Israel. It will bear branches and produce fruit and become a noble cedar. Every bird of every kind will nest under it, taking shelter in the shade of its branches. 24 Then all the trees of the field will know that I, the LORD, bring down the tall tree and make the low tree grow tall. I dry up the green tree and make the dry tree flourish. I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will do it.’
  • Ezek 19:10 : 10 Your mother was like a vine planted by the waters, fruitful and full of branches because of abundant waters.
  • Rom 11:17-24 : 17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among them and have come to share in the rich root of the olive tree, 18 do not boast against the branches. If you do boast, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 Then you will say, 'Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.' 20 That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you either. 22 Consider then the kindness and severity of God: severity to those who fell but kindness to you, provided you continue in His kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut off from a wild olive tree and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more easily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
