Ezekiel 17:6-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

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.

⁷ “But there was ^[a]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 ^(A)planted, that he might water it. ⁸ It was planted in good ^[b]soil beside abundant waters, that it might yield branches and bear fruit and become a splendid vine.”’
