Ezekiel 17:1
And the
word
of the
LORD
came unto me,
saying,
2
Son
of
man,
put
forth
a
riddle,
and
speak
a
parable
unto the
house
of
Israel;
3
And
say,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
GOD;
A
great
eagle
with
great
wings,
longwinged,
full
of
feathers,
which
had divers colours,
came
unto
Lebanon,
and
took
the
highest branch
of
the cedar:
4
He cropped
off
the
top
of his young
twigs,
and
carried
it into a
land
of
traffic;
he
set
it in a
city
of
merchants.
5
He
took
also of the
seed
of the
land,
and
planted
it in a
fruitful
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 the
roots
thereof 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
did
bend
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 a
good
soil
by
great
waters,
that it might bring
forth
branches,
and that it might
bear
fruit,
that it might be a
goodly
vine.
9
Say
thou, Thus
saith
the
Lord
GOD;
Shall it
prosper?
shall he not pull
up
the
roots
thereof, and cut
off
the
fruit
thereof, that it
wither?
it shall
wither
in all the
leaves
of her
spring,
even without
great
power
or
many
people
to pluck it
up
by the
roots
thereof.
10
Yea, behold, being
planted,
shall it
prosper?
shall it not
utterly
wither,
when the
east
wind
toucheth
it? it shall
wither
in the
furrows
where it
grew.
11
Moreover the
word
of the
LORD
came unto me,
saying,
12
Say
now to the
rebellious
house,
Know
ye not what these things mean?
tell
them, Behold, the
king
of
Babylon
is
come
to
Jerusalem,
and hath
taken
the
king
thereof, and the
princes
thereof, and
led
them with him to
Babylon;
13
And hath
taken
of the
king's
seed,
and
made
a
covenant
with him, and hath
taken
an
oath
of him: he hath also
taken
the
mighty
of the
land:
14
That the
kingdom
might be
base,
that it might not lift itself
up,
but that by
keeping
of his
covenant
it might
stand.
15
But he
rebelled
against him in
sending
his
ambassadors
into
Egypt,
that they might
give
him
horses
and
much
people.
Shall he
prosper?
shall he
escape
that
doeth
such things? or shall he
break
the
covenant,
and be
delivered?
16
As I
live,
saith
the
Lord
GOD,
surely in the
place
where the
king
dwelleth that made him
king,
whose
oath
he
despised,
and whose
covenant
he
brake,
even with him in the
midst
of
Babylon
he shall
die.
17
Neither shall
Pharaoh
with his
mighty
army
and
great
company
make
for him in the
war,
by casting
up
mounts,
and
building
forts,
to cut
off
many
persons:
18
Seeing he
despised
the
oath
by
breaking
the
covenant,
when, lo, he had
given
his
hand,
and hath
done
all these things, he shall not
escape.
19
Therefore thus
saith
the
Lord
GOD;
As I
live,
surely mine
oath
that he hath
despised,
and my
covenant
that he hath
broken,
even it will I
recompense
upon his own
head.
20
And I will
spread
my
net
upon him, and he shall be
taken
in my
snare,
and I will
bring
him to
Babylon,
and will
plead
with him there for his
trespass
that he hath
trespassed
against me.
21
And all his
fugitives
with all his
bands
shall
fall
by the
sword,
and they that
remain
shall be
scattered
toward all
winds:
and ye shall
know
that I the
LORD
have
spoken
it.
22
Thus
saith
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 his young
twigs
a tender
one,
and will
plant
it upon an
high
mountain
and
eminent:
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
fowl
of every
wing;
in the
shadow
of the
branches
thereof 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
to
flourish:
I the
LORD
have
spoken
and have
done
it.
