Ezekiel 17:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ “There was also another great eagle, with great wings and many feathers. And behold, this vine turned her roots toward it and spread forth her branches toward it, so that she might water it near the trenches of her planting.

⁸ “It was planted in a good soil by great waters, so that it would bring forth branches, and bear fruit, and be an excellent vine.”’

⁹ “Say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Shall it prosper? Shall he not pull up its roots and destroy its fruit and cause them to dry up? All the leaves of her bud shall wither without great power or many people to pluck it up by its roots.
