Ezekiel 17:22-24

New English Translation

“‘I will take a sprig^[a] from the lofty top of the cedar and plant it.^[b]
I will pluck from the top one of its tender twigs;
I myself will plant it on a high and lofty mountain.
²³ I will plant it on a high mountain of Israel,
and it will raise branches and produce fruit and become a beautiful cedar.
Every bird will live under it;
Every winged creature will live in the shade of its branches.
²⁴ All the trees of the field will know that I am the Lord.
I make the high tree low; I raise up the low tree.
I make the green tree wither, and I make the dry tree sprout.
I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do it!’”
