Ezekiel 17:21-23
New American Standard Bible
21 All the [a](A)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.”
22 This is what the Lord God says: “I will also take a sprig from the lofty top of the cedar and [b]set it out; I will break off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it on a (B)high and lofty mountain. 23 On the high mountain of Israel I will plant it, so that it may bring forth branches and bear fruit, and become a stately (C)cedar. And [c]birds of every [d]kind will [e]nest under it; they will [f]nest in the shade of its branches.
