Orthodox Jewish Bible
3 And say, Thus saith Adonoi Hashem: A nesher hagadol with great kenafayim (wings), long pinions, full of plumage, which had various colors, came unto Levanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar.
4 He broke off its topmost young twig, and carried it into an eretz kena’an (land of trade); he set it in a city of merchants [i.e., Babylon].
5 He took also of the zera of ha’aretz, and planted it in a fertile sadeh; he placed it by abundant mayim, and set it out like a willow tree.

Ezekiel 17:3-5
New King James Version
3 and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
(A)“A great eagle with large wings and long pinions,
Full of feathers of various colors,
Came to Lebanon
And (B)took from the cedar the highest branch.
4 He cropped off its topmost young twig
And carried it to a land of trade;
He set it in a city of merchants.
5 Then he took some of the seed of the land
And planted it in (C)a fertile field;
He placed it by abundant waters
And set it (D)like a willow tree.
