Ezekiel 17:3-5

Good News Translation

³ to let them know what I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying to them: There was a giant eagle with beautiful feathers and huge wings, spread wide. He flew to the Lebanon Mountains and broke off the top of a cedar tree, ⁴ which he carried to a land of commerce and placed in a city of merchants. ⁵ Then he took a young plant from the land of Israel and planted it in a fertile field,^[a] where there was always water to make it grow.
