Yechezkel 17:7-9

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁷ There was also another nesher hagadol with great kenafayim (wings) and many feathers; and, hinei, this gefen (vine) did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows where it had been planted.

⁸ It was planted in a sadeh tov by mayim rabbim, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear p’ri, that it might be a majestic gefen.

⁹ Say thou, Thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Shall it thrive? Shall he not pull up the shorashim (roots) thereof, and cut off the p’ri (fruit) thereof, that it wither? All of its tzemach (sprouted) leaves shall wither, even without great power or many peoples to pluck it up by the shorashim (roots) thereof.
