Ezekiel 17:5-7

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁵ He also took some of the seed of the land and planted it in ^[a](A)fertile soil. He ^[b]placed it 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 yielded shoots and sent out branches.

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