VERSION OF
The
Holy Bible book of
Ezekiel
Chapter Seventeen
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of
Israel;
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged,
full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the
highest branch of the cedar:
4 He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of
traffick; he set it in a city of merchants.
5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he
placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree.
6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches
turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine,
and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
7 There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and,
behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches
toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation.
8 It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth
branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.
9 Say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up
the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall
wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many
people to pluck it up by the roots thereof.
10 Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither,
when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew.
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
12 Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell
them, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the
king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon;
13 And hath taken of the king’s seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath
taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land:
14 That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that
by keeping of his covenant it might stand.
15 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that
they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape
that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?
16 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth
that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even
with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make for him
in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons:
18 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had
given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely mine oath that he hath
despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon
his own head.
20 And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I
will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that
he hath trespassed against me.
21 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they
that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the
LORD have spoken it.
22 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high
cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a
tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent:
23 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring
forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell
all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they
dwell.
24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down
the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and
have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.
