Ezekiel 17:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 And all that flee from him with all his host, shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all the winds: and ye shall know that I the Lord have spoken it.
22 Thus saith the Lord God, I will also take off the top[a]of this high cedar, and will set it, and cut off the [b]top of the tender plant thereof, and I will plant it upon an high mountain and great.
23 Even in the high mountain of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be an excellent cedar, and under it shall remain all birds, and every [c]fowl shall dwell in the shadow of the branches thereof.
