"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, World English Bible
“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 to the house of Israel;
and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: A great eagle with great wings and long feathers, full of feathers, which had various colors, came to Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar:
he cropped off the topmost of the young twigs of it, and carried it to 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.
It grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and its roots 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.
