Ezekiel 17:8-10

Lexham English Bible

⁸ It was planted in^[a] a good field by^[b] many waters^[c] to produce branches^[d] and to bear fruit to become^[e] a beautiful vine.”’^{[f] 9} Say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Will it prosper? Will he not tear out its roots, and will he not make its fruit scaly, and it will wither, and all of the freshness of its vegetation will dry up? And to lift it from its roots will not require great strength or many people.^{[g] 10} And look! Though it is planted, will it prosper? When the east wind strikes it,^[h] will it not dry up completely? On the garden bed of its vegetation it will dry up!”’”
