New King James Version
Ezekiel 17:8-10
New King James Version
8 It was planted in [a]good soil by many waters,
To bring forth branches, bear fruit,
And become a majestic vine.” ’
9 “Say, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
“Will it thrive?
(A)Will he not pull up its roots,
Cut off its fruit,
And leave it to wither?
All of its spring leaves will wither,
And no great power or many people
Will be needed to pluck it up by its roots.
10 Behold, it is planted,
Will it thrive?
(B)Will it not utterly wither when the east wind touches it?
It will wither in the garden terrace where it grew.” ’ ”

Will it not wither completely when the east wind strikes it—wither away in the plot where it grew?(D)’”
