1 # And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto me, saying <0559> (8800),
2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, put forth <02330> (8798) a riddle <02420>, and speak <04911> (8798) a parable <04912> unto the house <01004> of Israel <03478>;
3 And say <0559> (8804), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; A great <01419> eagle <05404> with great <01419> wings <03671>, longwinged <083> <0750>, full <04392> of feathers <05133>, which had divers colours <07553>, came <0935> (8804) unto Lebanon <03844>, and took <03947> (8799) the highest branch <06788> of the cedar <0730>:
4 He cropped off <06998> (8804) the top <07218> of his young twigs <03242>, and carried <0935> (8686) it into a land <0776> of traffick <03667>; he set <07760> (8804) it in a city <05892> of merchants <07402> (8802) .
5 He took <03947> (8799) also of the seed <02233> of the land <0776>, and planted <05414> (8799) it in a fruitful <02233> field <07704>; he placed <03947> (8804) it by great <07227> waters <04325>, and set <07760> (8804) it as a willow tree <06851>.
6 And it grew <06779> (8799), and became a spreading <05628> (8802) vine <01612> of low <08217> stature <06967>, whose branches <01808> turned <06437> (8800) toward him, and the roots <08328> thereof were under him: so it became a vine <01612>, and brought forth <06213> (8799) branches <0905>, and shot <07971> (8762) forth sprigs <06288>.
7 There was also another <0259> great <01419> eagle <05404> with great <01419> wings <03671> and many <07227> feathers <05133>: and, behold, this vine <01612> did bend <03719> (8804) her roots <08328> toward him, and shot forth <07971> (8765) her branches <01808> toward him, that he might water <08248> (8687) it by the furrows <06170> of her plantation <04302> .
8 It was planted <08362> (8803) in a good <02896> soil <07704> by great <07227> waters <04325>, that it might bring forth <06213> (8800) branches <06057>, and that it might bear <05375> (8800) fruit <06529>, that it might be a goodly <0155> vine <01612>.
9 Say <0559> (8798) thou, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Shall it prosper <06743> (8799)? shall he not pull up <05423> (8762) the roots <08328> thereof, and cut off <07082> (8779) the fruit <06529> thereof, that it wither <03001> (8804)? it shall wither <03001> (8799) in all the leaves <02964> of her spring <06780> , even without great <01419> power <02220> or many <07227> people <05971> to pluck it up <05375> (8800) by the roots <08328> thereof.
10 Yea, behold, being planted <08362> (8803), shall it prosper <06743> (8799)? shall it not utterly <03001> (8800) wither <03001> (8799), when the east <06921> wind <07307> toucheth <05060> (8800) it? it shall wither <03001> (8799) in the furrows <06170> where it grew <06780>.
11 Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto me, saying <0559> (8800),
12 Say <0559> (8798) now to the rebellious <04805> house <01004>, Know <03045> (8804) ye not what these things mean? tell <0559> (8798) them, Behold, the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> is come <0935> (8802) to Jerusalem <03389>, and hath taken <03947> (8799) the king <04428> thereof, and the princes <08269> thereof, and led <0935> (8686) them with him to Babylon <0894>;
13 And hath taken <03947> (8799) of the king's <04410> seed <02233>, and made <03772> (8799) a covenant <01285> with him, and hath taken <0935> (8686) an oath <0423> of him: he hath also taken <03947> (8804) the mighty <0352> of the land <0776>:
14 That the kingdom <04467> might be base <08217>, that it might not lift itself up <05375> (8692), but that by keeping <08104> (8800) of his covenant <01285> it might stand <05975> (8800).
15 But he rebelled <04775> (8799) against him in sending <07971> (8800) his ambassadors <04397> into Egypt <04714>, that they might give <05414> (8800) him horses <05483> and much <07227> people <05971>. Shall he prosper <06743> (8799)? shall he escape <04422> (8735) that doeth <06213> (8802) such things? or shall he break <06565> (8689) the covenant <01285>, and be delivered <04422> (8738)?
16 As I live <02416>, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, surely in the place <04725> where the king <04428> dwelleth that made him king <04427> (8688), whose oath <0423> he despised <0959> (8804) , and whose covenant <01285> he brake <06565> (8689), even with him in the midst <08432> of Babylon <0894> he shall die <04191> (8799).
17 Neither shall Pharaoh <06547> with his mighty <01419> army <02428> and great <07227> company <06951> make <06213> (8799) for him in the war <04421>, by casting up <08210> (8800) mounts <05550>, and building <01129> (8800) forts <01785>, to cut off <03772> (8687) many <07227> persons <05315>:
18 Seeing he despised <0959> (8804) the oath <0423> by breaking <06565> (8687) the covenant <01285> , when, lo, he had given <05414> (8804) his hand <03027>, and hath done <06213> (8804) all these things, he shall not escape <04422> (8735).
19 Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; As I live <02416>, surely mine oath <0423> that he hath despised <0959> (8804), and my covenant <01285> that he hath broken <06331> (8689), even it will I recompense <05414> (8804) upon his own head <07218>.
20 And I will spread <06566> (8804) my net <07568> upon him, and he shall be taken <08610> (8738) in my snare <04686>, and I will bring <0935> (8689) him to Babylon <0894>, and will plead <08199> (8738) with him there for his trespass <04603> (8804) that he hath trespassed <04604> against me.
21 And all his fugitives <04015> with all his bands <0102> shall fall <05307> (8799) by the sword <02719>, and they that remain <07604> (8737) shall be scattered <06566> (8735) toward all winds <07307>: and ye shall know <03045> (8804) that I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> (8765) it.
22 # Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I will also take <03947> (8804) of the highest branch <06788> of the high <07311> (8802) cedar <0730>, and will set <05414> (8804) it; I will crop off <06998> (8799) from the top <07218> of his young twigs <03127> a tender one <07390>, and will plant <08362> (8804) it upon an high <01364> mountain <02022> and eminent <08524> (8803):
23 In the mountain <02022> of the height <04791> of Israel <03478> will I plant <08362> (8799) it: and it shall bring forth <05375> (8804) boughs <06057>, and bear <06213> (8804) fruit <06529>, and be a goodly <0117> cedar <0730>: and under it shall dwell <07931> (8804) all fowl <06833> of every wing <03671>; in the shadow <06738> of the branches <01808> thereof shall they dwell <07931> (8799).
24 And all the trees <06086> of the field <07704> shall know <03045> (8804) that I the LORD <03068> have brought down <08213> (8689) the high <01364> tree <06086>, have exalted <01361> (8689) the low <08217> tree <06086> , have dried <03001> (8689) up the green <03892> tree <06086>, and have made the dry <03002> tree <06086> to flourish <06524> (8689): I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> (8765) and have done <06213> (8804) it.
