Ezekiel 17:2-4

Authorized (King James) Version

² Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel; ³ and say, Thus saith the Lord God; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar: ⁴ he cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffick; he set it in a city of merchants.
