Ezekiel 17:21-23

New American Standard Bible 1995

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 Thus says the Lord God, “I will also take a sprig from the lofty top of the cedar and set it out; I will pluck 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, that it may bring forth boughs and bear fruit and become a stately ^(C)cedar. And birds of every ^[b]kind will ^[c]nest under it; they will ^[d]nest in the shade of its branches.
