Ezekiel 17:5-7

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁵ Then he took some of the land’s seed
and put it in a fertile field;^(A)
he set it like a willow,^(B)
a plant^[a] by abundant waters.
⁶ It sprouted and became a spreading vine,
low in height with its branches turned toward him,^(C)
yet its roots stayed under it.
So it became a vine,
produced branches, and sent out shoots.
