Ezekiel 17:4-6

Christian Standard Bible

⁴ He plucked off its topmost shoot, brought it to the land of merchants, and set it in a city of traders. ⁵ Then he took some of the land’s seed and put it in a fertile field;^(A) he set it like a willow,^(B) a plant^[a] by abundant water. ⁶ It sprouted and became a spreading vine, low in height with its branches turned toward him,^(C) yet its roots stayed under it. So it became a vine, produced branches, and sent out shoots.
