Ezekiel 17:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 17:3

The Eagles and the Vine

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, pose a riddle, and speak a ^aparable to the house of Israel,

3 and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
^a“A great eagle with large wings and long pinions,
Full of feathers of various colors,
Came to Lebanon
And ^btook from the cedar the highest branch.

4 He cropped off its topmost young twig
And carried it to a land of trade;
He set it in a city of merchants.

5 Then he took some of the seed of the land
And planted it in ^aa fertile field;
He placed it by abundant waters
And set it ^blike a willow tree.
