Ezekiel 17:23-24
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
23 On the mountain height of Israel
I will plant it.
It shall put forth branches and bear fruit,
and become a majestic cedar.
Every small bird will nest under it,
all kinds of winged birds will dwell
in the shade of its branches.(A)
24 Every tree of the field will know
that I am the Lord.
I bring low the high tree,
lift high the lowly tree,
Wither up the green tree,
and make the dry tree bloom.(B)
As I, the Lord, have spoken, so will I do!
Ezekiel 31:6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 In its branches nested
all the birds of the sky;
Under its boughs all the wild animals
gave birth,
And in its shade[a] dwelt
all the mighty nations.(A)
