Ezekiel 17:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ He cropped off the top of the twigs thereof: and carried it away into the land of Chanaan, and he set it in a city of merchants.

⁵ And he took of the seed of the land, and put it in the ground for seed, that it might take a firm root over many waters: he planted it on the surface of the earth.

⁶ And it sprung up and grew into a spreading vine of low stature, and the branches thereof looked towards him: and the roots thereof were under him. So it became a vine, and grew into branches, and shot forth sprigs.
