Ezekiel 17:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ The eagle also took a seed from Israel's land. He planted it in a good field, like a willow tree near to plenty of water. ⁶ The seed made a plant that grew well. It became a vine that grew near to the ground. The vine's branches turned up towards the eagle. Its roots went down into the ground. The vine grew with many new branches and leaves.

⁷ There was also another great eagle. It had strong wings and many feathers. Now the vine turned its roots and its branches towards this eagle. It wanted to get more water in the ground where it was growing.
