Ezekiel 17:5-7

New American Standard Bible

⁵ He also took ^[a]from the seed of the land and planted ^[b]it in ^[c](A)fertile soil, a ^[d]meadow beside abundant waters; he set it like a ^(B)willow. ⁶ Then it sprouted and became a low, spreading vine with its branches turned toward him, but its roots remained under it. So it became a vine and produced shoots and sent out branches.

⁷ “But there was ^[e]another great eagle with great wings and much plumage; and behold, this vine turned its roots toward him and sent out its branches toward him from the beds where it was ^(C)planted, so that he might water it.
