Ezekiel 17:3-5

New Century Version

³ Say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: A giant eagle with big wings and long feathers of many different colors came to Lebanon and took hold of the top of a cedar tree. ⁴ He pulled off the top branch and brought it to a land of traders, where he planted it in a city of traders.

⁵ “‘The eagle took some seed from the land and planted it in a good field near plenty of water. He planted it to grow like a willow tree.
