Ezekiel 17:22-24
Christian Standard Bible
22 “‘This is what the Lord God says:
I will take a sprig
from the lofty top of the cedar and plant it.(A)
I will pluck a tender sprig
from its topmost shoots,
and I will plant it
on a high towering mountain.
23 I will plant it on Israel’s high mountain(B)
so that it may bear branches, produce fruit,
and become a majestic cedar.
Birds of every kind will nest under it,(C)
taking shelter in the shade of its branches.
24 Then all the trees of the field will know
that I am the Lord.
I bring down the tall tree,
and make the low tree tall.(D)
I cause the green tree to wither
and make the withered tree thrive.(E)
I, the Lord, have spoken
and I will do it.’”(F)
