⁶ It sprouted and became a vine,
    low-lying and spreading forth.
Its branches turned toward him,
    but its roots remained firmly in place.
Thus it became a vine, produced branches,
    and put forth lofty shoots.
⁷ But there was another great eagle
    with large wings and thick plumage.
From the plot where it had been planted
    this vine stretched forth its roots toward him
so that he might water it.
It turned away from the bed where it was planted.
⁸ In a fertile field by abundant waters,
    it was planted so that it might branch forth,
    bear fruit, and become a noble vine.
