Ezekiel 17:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ a good field with plentiful water where it was planted to grow branches, bear fruit, and become a splendid vine. ⁹ Say, The Lord God proclaims: Will it thrive? Won’t he tear out its roots, strip its fruit, and cause all the leaves of its branches to wither? It will dry up, and no one will need a strong arm or a mighty army to uproot it. ¹⁰ Though it is planted, will it thrive? When the east wind touches it, won’t it completely wither? On the bed in which it was planted, it will wither away.
