Ezekiel 17:2-4

Jubilee Bible 2000

² Son of man, propose a figure and compose an enigma unto the house of Israel

³ and say: Thus hath the Lord GOD said, A great eagle with great wings and long members, full of feathers of diverse colours, came unto Lebanon and took the highest branch of the cedar:

⁴ he cropped off the principal shoot and carried it into a land of markets; he set it in the city of the merchants.
