Ezekiel 17:6-8

Revised Geneva Translation

⁶ “And it budded up and was like a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward it, and its roots were under it. So it became a vine, and it brought forth branches and shot forth buds.

⁷ “There was also another great eagle, with great wings and many feathers. And behold, this vine turned her roots toward it and spread forth her branches toward it, so that she might water it near the trenches of her planting.

⁸ “It was planted in a good soil by great waters, so that it would bring forth branches, and bear fruit, and be an excellent vine.”’
