Ezekiel 17:6-8

Living Bible

⁶ It took root and grew and became a low but spreading vine that turned toward the eagle and produced strong branches and luxuriant leaves. ⁷ But when another great, broad-winged, full-feathered eagle came along, this tree sent its roots and branches out toward him instead, ⁸ even though it was already in good soil with plenty of water to become a splendid vine, producing leaves and fruit.”
