[1] Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, [2] “Son of man, tell a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel; [3] and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “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. [4] He cropped off the topmost of its young twigs, and carried it to a land of traffic. He planted it in a city of merchants. [5] “‘“He also took some of the seed of the land and planted it in fruitful soil. He placed it beside many waters. He set it as a willow tree. [6] 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, produced branches, and shot out sprigs. [7] “‘“There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers. Behold, this vine bent its roots toward him, and shot out its branches toward him, from the ground where it was planted, that he might water it. [8] It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might produce branches and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a good vine.”’ [9] “Say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Will it prosper? Won’t he pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, that it may wither, that all its fresh springing leaves may wither? It can’t be raised from its roots by a strong arm or many people. [10] Yes, behold, being planted, will it prosper? Won’t it utterly wither when the east wind touches it? It will wither in the ground where it grew.”’” [11] Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, [12] “Say now to the rebellious house, ‘Don’t you know what these things mean?’ Tell them, ‘Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took its king, and its princes, and brought them to him to Babylon. [13] He took one of the royal offspring,§ and made a covenant with him. He also brought him under an oath, and took away the mighty of the land, [14] that the kingdom might be brought low, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand. [15] But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and many people. Will he prosper? Will he who does such things escape? Will he break the covenant, and still escape? [16] “‘As I live,’ says the Lord Yahweh, ‘surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the middle of Babylon he will die. [17] Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company won’t help him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts to cut off many persons. [18] For he has despised the oath by breaking the covenant; and behold, he had given his hand, and yet has done all these things. He won’t escape. [19] “Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘As I live, I will surely bring on his own head my oath that he has despised and my covenant that he has broken. [20] I will spread my net on him, and he will be taken in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his trespass that he has trespassed against me. [21] All his fugitives in all his bands will fall by the sword, and those who remain will be scattered toward every wind. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken it.’ [22] “The Lord Yahweh says: ‘I will also take some of the lofty top of the cedar, and will plant it. I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it on a high and lofty mountain. [23] I will plant it in the mountain of the height of Israel; and it will produce boughs, and bear fruit, and be a good cedar. Birds of every kind will dwell in the shade of its branches. [24] All the trees of the field will know that I, Yahweh, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree flourish.“‘I, Yahweh, have spoken and have done it.’”

The Eagle and the Cedar

[1] And the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came unto me, saying, H559 [2] Son H1121 of man, H120 put forth H2330 a riddle, H2420 and speak H4911 a parable H4912 unto H413 the house H1004 of Israel; H3478 [3] and say, H559 Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 God; H3069 A great H1419 eagle H5404 with great H1419 wings, H3671 longwinged, H83 H750 full H4392 of feathers, H5133 which H834 had divers§ colours, H7553 came H935 unto H413 Lebanon, H3844 and took H3947 H853 the highest branch H6788 of the cedar: H730 [4] he cropped off H6998 H853 the top H7218 of his young twigs, H3242 and carried H935 it into a land H776 of traffick; H3667 he set H7760 it in a city H5892 of merchants. H7402 [5] He took H3947 also of the seed H2233 of the land, H776 and planted H5414 it in a fruitful H2233 field; H7704§ he placed H3947 it by great H7227 waters, H4325 and set H7760 it as a willow tree. H6851 [6] And it grew, H6779 and became a spreading H5628 vine H1612 of low H8217 stature, H6967 whose branches H1808 turned H6437 toward him, and the roots H8328 thereof were under him: so it became a vine, H1612 and brought forth H6213 branches, H905 and shot H7971 forth sprigs. H6288 [7] There was also another H259 great H1419 eagle H5404 with great H1419 wings H3671 and many H7227 feathers: H5133 and, behold, this vine H1612 did bend H3719 her roots H8328 toward him, and shot forth H7971 her branches H1808 toward him, that he might water H8248 it by the furrows H6170 of her plantation. H4302 [8] It was planted H8362 in a good H2896 soil H7704§ by great H7227 waters, H4325 that it might bring forth H6213 branches, H6057 and that it might bear H5375 fruit, H6529 that it might be a goodly H155 vine. H1612 [9] Say H559 thou, Thus saith H559 the Lord H136 God; H3069 Shall it prosper? H6743 shall he not pull up H5423 the roots H8328 thereof, and cut off H7082 the fruit H6529 thereof, that it wither? H3001 it shall wither H3001 in all the leaves H2964 of her spring, H6780 even without great H1419 power H2220 or many H7227 people H5971 to pluck it up H5375 by the roots H8328 thereof. [10] Yea, behold, being planted, H8362 shall it prosper? H6743 shall it not utterly H3001 wither, H3001 when the east H6921 wind H7307 toucheth H5060 it? it shall wither H3001 in the furrows H6170 where it grew. H6780 [11] Moreover the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came unto me, saying, H559 [12] Say H559 now to the rebellious H4805 house, H1004 Know H3045 ye not what these things mean? tell H559 them, Behold, the king H4428 of Babylon H894 is come H935 to Jerusalem, H3389 and hath taken H3947 the king H4428 thereof, and the princes H8269 thereof, and led H935 them with him to Babylon; H894 [13] and hath taken H3947 of the king’s H4410 seed, H2233 and made H3772 a covenant H1285 with H854 him, and hath taken H935 an oath H423 of him:§ he hath also taken H3947 the mighty H352 of the land: H776 [14] that the kingdom H4467 might be base, H8217 that it might not lift itself up, H5375 but that by keeping H8104 H853 of his covenant H1285 it might stand. H5975§ [15] But he rebelled H4775 against him in sending H7971 his ambassadors H4397 into Egypt, H4714 that they might give H5414 him horses H5483 and much H7227 people. H5971 Shall he prosper? H6743 shall he escape H4422 that doeth H6213 such things? or shall he break H6565 the covenant, H1285 and be delivered? H4422 [16] As I live, H2416 saith H5002 the Lord H136 God, H3069 surely in the place H4725 where the king H4428 dwelleth that made him king, H4427 H853 whose H834 oath H423 he despised, H959 H853 and whose covenant H1285 he brake, H6565 even with him in the midst H8432 of Babylon H894 he shall die. H4191 [17] Neither shall Pharaoh H6547 with his mighty H1419 army H2428 and great H7227 company H6951 make H6213 for him in the war, H4421 by casting up H8210 mounts, H5550 and building H1129 forts, H1785 to cut off H3772 many H7227 persons: H5315 [18] seeing he despised H959 the oath H423 by breaking H6565 the covenant, H1285 when, lo, he had given H5414 his hand, H3027 and hath done H6213 all these things, he shall not escape. H4422 [19] Therefore thus saith H559 the Lord H136 God; H3069 As I live, H2416 surely mine oath H423 that he hath despised, H959 and my covenant H1285 that he hath broken, H6331 even it will I recompense H5414 upon his own head. H7218 [20] And I will spread H6566 my net H7568 upon H5921 him, and he shall be taken H8610 in my snare, H4686 and I will bring H935 him to Babylon, H894 and will plead H8199 with H854 him there for his trespass H4603 that he hath trespassed H4604 against me. [21] And all his fugitives H4015 with all his bands H102 shall fall H5307 by the sword, H2719 and they that remain H7604 shall be scattered H6566 toward all winds: H7307 and ye shall know H3045 that I the Lord H3068 have spoken H1696 it. [22] Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 God; H3069 I will also take H3947 of the highest branch H6788 of the high H7311 cedar, H730 and will set H5414 it; I will crop off H6998 from the top H7218 of his young twigs H3127 a tender one, H7390 and will plant H8362 it upon an high H1364 mountain H2022 and eminent: H8524 [23] in the mountain H2022 of the height H4791 of Israel H3478 will I plant H8362 it: and it shall bring forth H5375 boughs, H6057 and bear H6213 fruit, H6529 and be a goodly H117 cedar: H730 and under it shall dwell H7931 all H3605 fowl H6833 of every wing; H3671 in the shadow H6738 of the branches H1808 thereof shall they dwell. H7931 [24] And all the trees H6086 of the field H7704 shall know H3045 that I the Lord H3068 have brought down H8213 the high H1364 tree, H6086 have exalted H1361 the low H8217 tree, H6086 have dried H3001 up the green H3892 tree, H6086 and have made the dry H3002 tree H6086 to flourish: H6524 I the Lord H3068 have spoken H1696 and have done H6213 it.
