Ezekiel 17:2-4

21st Century King James Version

² “Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel,

³ and say, ‘Thus saith the Lord God: A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers which had divers colors, came unto Lebanon and took the highest branch of the cedar.

⁴ He cropped off the top of it young twigs and carried it into a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.
