Ezekiel 17:6-8

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ and it sprouted and became a low spreading vine, and its branches turned toward him, and its roots remained where it stood. So it became a vine, and brought forth branches and put forth foliage.

⁷ “But there was another great eagle with great wings and much plumage; and behold, this vine bent its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him that he might water it. From the bed where it was planted ⁸ he transplanted it^[a] to good soil by abundant waters, that it might bring forth branches, and bear fruit, and become a noble vine.
