  • Ezek 17:2-9 : 2 Son of man, pose a riddle and tell a parable to the house of Israel. 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?’

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.’
