Ezekiel 17:22-24

Easy-to-Read Version

“I will take a branch from a tall cedar tree.
    I will take a small branch from the top of the tree,
    and I myself will plant it on a very high mountain.
²³ I myself will plant it on a high mountain in Israel.
    That branch will grow into a tree.
It will grow branches and make fruit
    and become a beautiful cedar tree.
Many birds will sit on its branches
    and live in the shadows under its branches.

²⁴ “Then the other trees will know that
    I, the Lord, make tall trees fall to the ground,
    and I make small trees grow tall.
I make green trees become dry,
    and I make dry trees become green.
I am the Lord.
    If I say that I will do something, then I will do it!”
