Ezekiel 17:9-11

New King James Version

“Will it thrive?
^(A)Will he not pull up its roots,
Cut off its fruit,
And leave it to wither?
All of its spring leaves will wither,
And no great power or many people
Will be needed to pluck it up by its roots.
¹⁰ Behold, it is planted,
Will it thrive?
^(B)Will it not utterly wither when the east wind touches it?
It will wither in the garden terrace where it grew.” ’ ”
