Ezekiel 17:22-24

Good News Translation

“I will take the top of a tall cedar
    and break off a tender sprout;
I will plant it on a high mountain,
²³     on Israel's highest mountain.
It will grow branches and bear seed
    and become a magnificent cedar.
Birds of every kind will live there
    and find shelter in its shade.
²⁴ All the trees in the land will know
    that I am the Lord.
I cut down the tall trees
    and make small trees grow tall.
I wither up the green trees
    and make the dry trees become green.
