    4He cropped off the top of its young twigs and carried it into a land of trade; he set it in a city of merchants.

    5He also took some of the seed of the land and planted it in a fertile field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree.

    6And it grew and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and its roots were under him: so it became a vine and brought forth branches and shot forth sprigs.

    7There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine bent her roots toward him and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation.

    8It was planted in good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches and bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.

    10Yes, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? Shall it not utterly wither when the east wind touches it? It shall wither in the furrows where it grew.
