Ezekiel 17:4-6

New Century Version

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. ⁶ It sprouted and became a low vine that spread over the ground. The branches turned toward the eagle, but the roots were under the eagle. So the seed became a vine, and its branches grew, sending out leaves.
