Ezekiel 17:22-24

International Standard Version

The Transplanted Vine

²²This is what the Lord God says, “I’m also going to take a shoot from the top of a cedar and plant it. I’ll pluck off its delicate twigs and transplant it on a high and lofty mountain. ²³I’ll transplant it on Israel’s land, and it will grow branches, bear fruit, and become a majestic cedar. All sorts^[a] of birds will rest under it, and they’ll settle down in the shade of its branches. ²⁴Then all the trees of the fields will know that I, the Lord, bring down the lofty tree and exalt the lowly tree. I dry up the green^[b] tree and cause the dry tree to bud. I the Lord have spoken this, and I will fulfill it.”
