Ezekiel 17:7-9

Legacy Standard Bible

⁷ “But there was ^[a]another great eagle with great wings and much plumage; and behold, this vine bent its roots toward him and sent out its foliage toward him from the beds where it was ^(A)planted, that he might water it. ⁸ It was planted in a good field beside abundant waters, that it might yield branches and bear fruit and become a majestic vine.”’ ⁹ Say, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “Will it succeed? Will he not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, so that it dries up—so that all its sprouting leaves dry up? And neither by great ^[b]strength nor by many people can it be raised from its roots again.
