NASB
""Son of man, propound a riddle and speak a parable to the house of Israel,"
— Ezekiel 17:2, NASB
“Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;”
“Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel; ”
“Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel;”
““Son of man, offer a riddle, and tell a parable to the house of Israel.”
“Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel,”
“Son of man, give out a dark saying, and make a comparison for the children of Israel,”
“Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;”
Now the word of the LORD came to me saying,
"Son of man, propound a riddle and speak a parable to the house of Israel,
saying, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "A great eagle with great wings, long pinions and a full plumage of many colors came to Lebanon and took away the top of the cedar.
"He plucked off the topmost of its young twigs and brought it to a land of merchants; he set it in a city of traders.
"He also took some of the seed of the land and planted it in fertile soil. He placed it beside abundant waters; he set it like a willow.
