  • Ezek 17:3-9 : 3 And say, Thus says the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings, long-winged, full of feathers of various colors, came to Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar: 4 He cropped off the top of its young twigs and carried it into a land of trade; he set it in a city of merchants. 5 He 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. 6 And 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. 7 There 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. 8 It was planted in good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches and bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine. 9 Say thus says the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper? Shall he not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, that it withers? It shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by its roots. 10 Yes, 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.
  • Ezek 17:22-24 : 22 Thus says the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar and will set it; I will crop off from the top of its young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon a high and prominent mountain: 23 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs and bear fruit and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing; in the shadow of its branches shall they dwell. 24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.
  • Ezek 19:10 : 10 Your mother is like a vine in your blood, planted by the waters; she was fruitful and full of branches because of many waters.
  • Rom 11:17-24 : 17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them partake of the root and fatness of the olive tree, 18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in. 20 Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. 22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
