Parable of Two Eagles and a Vine

17Now the word of the LORD came to me saying,H1697H3068H559 2"Son of man, propound a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel,H1121H120H2330H2420H4911H4912H1004H3478 3saying, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "A great eagle with great wings, long pinions and a full plumage of many colors, came to Lebanon and took away the top of the cedar.H559H559H136H3069H1419H5404H1419H3671H83H750H4392H5133H7553H935H3844H3947H6788H730 4"He plucked off the topmost of its young twigs and brought it to a land of merchants; he set it in a city of traders.H6998H7218H3242H935H776H3667H7760H5892H7402 5"He also took some of the seed of the land and planted it in fertile soil. He placed [it] beside abundant waters; he set it [like] a willow.H3947H2233H776H5414H2233H7704H3947H7227H4325H7760H6851 6"Then it sprouted and became a low, spreading vine with its branches turned toward him, but its roots remained under it. So it became a vine, and yielded shoots and sent out branches.H6779H5628H1612H8217H6967H1808H6437H8328H1612H6213H905H7971H6288 7"But there was another great eagle with great wings and much plumage; and behold, this vine bent its roots toward him and sent out its branches toward him from the beds where it was planted, that he might water it.H259H1419H5404H1419H3671H7227H5133H1612H3719H8328H7971H1808H8248H6170H4302 8"It was planted in good soil beside abundant waters, that it might yield branches and bear fruit, [and] become a splendid vine." 'H8362H2896H7704H7227H4325H6213H6057H5375H6529H155H1612 9"Say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD," Will it thrive? Will he not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, so that it withers— so that all its sprouting leaves wither? And neither by great strength nor by many people can it be raised from its roots [again.]H559H559H136H3069H6743H5423H8328H7082H6529H3001H3001H2964H6780H1419H2220H7227H5971H5375H8328 10"Behold, though it is planted, will it thrive? Will it not completely wither as soon as the east wind strikes it— wither on the beds where it grew?" '"H8362H6743H3001H3001H6921H7307H5060H3001H6170H6780

Zedekiah’s Rebellion

11Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me saying,H1697H3068H559 12"Say now to the rebellious house, 'Do you not know what these things [mean?'] Say, 'Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, took its king and princes, and brought them to him in Babylon.H559H4805H1004H3045H559H4428H894H935H3389H3947H4428H8269H935H894 13'And he took one of the royal family and made a covenant with him, putting him under oath. He also took away the mighty of the land,H3947H4410H2233H3772H1285H935H423H3947H352H776 14that the kingdom might be in subjection, not exalting itself, [but] keeping his covenant, that it might continue.H4467H8217H5375H8104H1285H5975 15'But he rebelled against him by sending his envoys to Egypt that they might give him horses and many troops. Will he succeed? Will he who does such things escape? Can he indeed break the covenant and escape?H4775H7971H4397H4714H5414H5483H7227H5971H6743H4422H6213H6565H1285H4422 16'As I live,' declares the Lord GOD, 'Surely in the country of the king who put him on the throne, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, in Babylon he shall die.H2416H5002H136H3069H4725H4428H4427H423H959H1285H6565H8432H894H4191 17'And Pharaoh with [his] mighty army and great company will not help him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build siege walls to cut off many lives.H6547H1419H2428H7227H6951H6213H4421H8210H5550H1129H1785H3772H7227H5315 18'Now he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, and behold, he pledged his allegiance, yet did all these things; he shall not escape.' "H959H423H6565H1285H5414H3027H6213H4422 19Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "As I live, surely My oath which he despised and My covenant which he broke, I will inflict on his head.H559H136H3069H2416H423H959H1285H6331H5414H7218 20"And I will spread My net over him, and he will be caught in My snare. Then I will bring him to Babylon and enter into judgment with him there [regarding] the unfaithful act which he has committed against Me.H6566H7568H8610H4686H935H894H8199H4603H4604 21"And all the choice men in all his troops will fall by the sword, and the survivors will be scattered to every wind; and you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken."H4015H102H5307H2719H7604H6566H7307H3045H3068H1696 22Thus says the Lord GOD, "I shall also take [a sprig] from the lofty top of the cedar and set [it] out; I shall pluck from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I shall plant [it] on a high and lofty mountain.H559H136H3069H3947H6788H7311H730H5414H6998H7218H3127H7390H8362H1364H2022H8524 23"On the high mountain of Israel I shall plant it, that it may bring forth boughs and bear fruit, and become a stately cedar. And birds of every kind will nest under it; they will nest in the shade of its branches.H2022H4791H3478H8362H5375H6057H6213H6529H117H730H7931H6833H3671H6738H1808H7931 24"And all the trees of the field will know that I am the LORD; I bring down the high tree, exalt the low tree, dry up the green tree, and make the dry tree flourish. I am the LORD; I have spoken, and I will perform [it.]"H6086H7704H3045H3068H8213H1364H6086H1361H8217H6086H3001H3892H6086H3002H6086H6524H3068H1696H6213
