Ezekiel 17:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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

³ And say: Thus saith the Lord God: A large eagle with great wings, long-limbed, full of feathers, and of variety, came to Libanus, and took away the marrow of the cedar.

⁴ He cropped off the top of the twigs thereof: and carried it away into the land of Chanaan, and he set it in a city of merchants.
