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.
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.
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.
And planted it in aa fertile field;
He placed it by abundant waters
And set it blike a willow tree.
6 And it grew and became a spreading vine aof low stature;
Its branches turned toward him,
But its roots were under it.
So it became a vine,
Brought forth branches,
And put forth shoots.
Its branches turned toward him,
But its roots were under it.
So it became a vine,
Brought forth branches,
And put forth shoots.
