    18 Do not be uplifted in pride over the branches: because it is not you who are the support of the root, but it is by the root that you are supported.

    19 You will say, Branches were broken off so that I might be put in.

    20 Truly, because they had no faith they were broken off, and you have your place by reason of your faith. Do not be lifted up in pride, but have fear;

    21 For, if God did not have mercy on the natural branches, he will not have mercy on you.

    22 See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.

    23 And they, if they do not go on without faith, will be united to the tree again, because God is able to put them in again.

    24 For if you were cut out of a field olive-tree, and against the natural use were united to a good olive-tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be united again with the olive-tree which was theirs?

    4 Biting off the highest of its young branches, he took it to the land of Canaan, and put it in a town of traders.

    5 And he took some of the seed of the land, planting it in fertile earth, placing it by great waters; he put it in like a willow-tree.

    6 And its growth went on and it became a vine, low and widely stretching, whose branches were turned to him and its roots were under him: so it became a vine, putting out branches and young leaves.

    7 And there was another eagle with great wings and thick feathers: and now this vine, pushing out its roots to him, sent out its branches in his direction from the bed where it was planted, so that he might give it water.

    8 He had it planted in a good field by great waters so that it might put out branches and have fruit and be a strong vine.

    9 Say, This is what the Lord has said: Will it do well? will he not have its roots pulled up and its branches cut off, so that all its young leaves may become dry and it may be pulled up by its roots?
