King James 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."
— Ezekiel 17:5, King James 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. ”
“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 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:
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.
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.
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 her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation.
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.
