Ezekiel 17:3-5

New King James Version

^(A)“A great eagle with large wings and long pinions,
Full of feathers of various colors,
Came to Lebanon
And ^(B)took 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.
⁵ Then he took some of the seed of the land
And planted it in ^(C)a fertile field;
He placed it by abundant waters
And set it ^(D)like a willow tree.
