Parable of Two Eagles and a Vine
1 Now the word of the LORD came to me saying,
2
"Son of man, propound a riddle and speak a 1parable to the house of Israel,
3
saying, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "A great 2eagle with 3great wings, long pinions and a full plumage of many colors came to 4Lebanon and took away the top of the cedar.
4
"He plucked off the topmost of its young twigs and brought it to a land of merchants; he set it in a city of traders.
5
"He also took some of the seed of the land and planted it in 5fertile soil. He placed it beside abundant waters; he set it like a 6willow.
6
"Then it sprouted and became a low, spreading vine with its branches turned toward him, but its roots remained under it. So it became a vine and yielded shoots and sent out branches.
7
"But there was another great eagle with great wings and much plumage; and behold, this vine bent its roots toward him and sent out its branches toward him from the beds where it was 7planted, that he might water it.
8
"It was planted in good soil beside abundant waters, that it might yield branches and bear fruit and become a splendid vine."'
9
"Say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Will it thrive? Will he not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, so that it withers -so that all its sprouting leaves wither? And neither by great strength nor by many people can it be raised from its roots again.
10
"Behold, though it is planted, will it thrive? Will it not 8completely wither as soon as the east wind strikes it-wither on the beds where it grew?""'
Zedekiah's Rebellion
11 Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
12
"Say now to the 9rebellious house, 'Do you not 10know what these things mean?' Say, 'Behold, the 11king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, took its king and princes and brought them to him in Babylon.
13
'He took one of the royal 12family and made a covenant with him, putting him under 13oath. He also took away the 14mighty of the land,
14
that the kingdom might 15be in subjection, not exalting itself, but keeping his covenant that it might continue.
15
'But he 16rebelled against him by sending his envoys to Egypt that they might give him horses and many troops. Will he succeed? Will he who does such things 17escape? Can he indeed break the covenant and escape?
16
'As I live,' declares the Lord GOD, 'Surely * in the country of the king who put him on the throne, whose oath he 18despised and whose covenant he broke, 19in Babylon he shall die.
17
'20Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company will not help him in the war, when they cast up ramps and build siege walls to cut off many lives.
18
'Now he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, and behold, he 21pledged his allegiance, yet did all these things; he shall not escape.' "
19
Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "As I live, surely * My oath which he despised and My covenant which he broke, I will inflict on his head.
20
"I will spread My 22net over him, and he will be 23caught in My snare. Then I will bring him to Babylon and 24enter into judgment with him there regarding the unfaithful act which he has committed against Me.
21
"All the 25choice men in all his troops will fall by the sword, and the survivors will be scattered to every wind; and you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken."
22
Thus says the Lord GOD, "I will also take a sprig from the lofty top of the cedar and set it out; I will pluck from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one and I will plant it on a 26high and lofty mountain.
23
"On the high mountain of Israel I will plant it, that it may bring forth boughs and bear fruit and become a stately 27cedar. And birds of every kind will nest under it; they will nest in the shade of its branches.
24
"All the 28trees of the field will know that I am the LORD; I bring down the high tree, exalt the low tree, dry up the green tree and make the dry tree 29flourish. I am the LORD; I have spoken, and I will perform it."
