American Standard Version
"He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters; he set it as a willow-tree. "
— Ezekiel 17:5, American Standard Version
“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.”
“He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters; he set it as a willow tree.”
“He took one of the seedlings of the land, placed it in a cultivated plot; a shoot by abundant water, like a willow he planted it.”
“And he took of the seed of the land, and put it in the ground for seed, that it might take a firm root over many waters: he planted it on the surface of the earth.”
“And he took some of the seed of the land, planting it in fertile earth, placing it by great waters; he put it in like a willow-tree.”
“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.”
Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;
and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers, which had divers colors, came unto Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar:
he cropped off the topmost of the young twigs thereof, and carried it unto a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.
He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters; he set it as a willow-tree.
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.
There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it.
It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.
