Ezekiel 17:7
17:7 “‘There was another great eagle
with broad wings and thick plumage.
Now this vine twisted its roots toward him
and sent its branches toward him
to be watered from the soil where it was planted.
Ezekiel 17:12-21
17:12 “Say to the rebellious house of Israel:
‘Don’t you know what these things mean?’
Say: ‘See here, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem
and took her king and her officials prisoner and brought them to himself in Babylon.
17:13 He took one from the royal family,
made a treaty with him, and put him under oath.
He then took the leaders of the land
17:14 so it would be a lowly kingdom which could not rise on its own but must keep its treaty with him in order to stand.
17:15 But this one from Israel’s royal family
rebelled against the king of Babylon
by sending his emissaries to Egypt to obtain horses and a large army. Will he prosper? Will the one doing these things escape? Can he break the covenant and escape?
17:16 “‘As surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord, surely in the city of the king who crowned him, whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke – in the middle of Babylon he will die!
17:17 Pharaoh with his great army and mighty horde will not help him in battle, when siege ramps are erected and siege-walls are built to kill many people.
17:18 He despised the oath by breaking the covenant. Take note – he gave his promise and did all these things – he will not escape!
17:19 “‘Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, I will certainly repay him for despising my oath and breaking my covenant!
17:20 I will throw my net over him and he will be caught in my snare; I will bring him to Babylon and judge him there because of the unfaithfulness he committed against me.
17:21 All the choice men among his troops will die by the sword and the survivors will be scattered to every wind. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken!
Deuteronomy 28:49
28:49 The
Lord will raise up a distant nation against you, one from the other side of the earth
as the eagle flies,
a nation whose language you will not understand,
Jeremiah 4:13
4:13 Look! The enemy is approaching like gathering clouds.
The roar of his chariots is like that of a whirlwind.
His horses move more swiftly than eagles.”
I cry out, “We are doomed, for we will be destroyed!”
Jeremiah 48:40
48:40 For the Lord says,
“Look! Like an eagle with outspread wings
a nation will swoop down on Moab.
Jeremiah 49:16
49:16 The terror you inspire in others
and the arrogance of your heart have deceived you.
You may make your home in the clefts of the rocks;
you may occupy the highest places in the hills.
But even if you made your home where the eagles nest,
I would bring you down from there,”
says the Lord.
Lamentations 4:19
ק (Qof)
4:19 Those who pursued us were swifter
than eagles in the sky.
They chased us over the mountains;
they ambushed us in the wilderness.
Hosea 8:1
God Will Raise Up the Assyrians to Attack Israel
8:1 Sound the alarm!
An eagle looms over the temple of the Lord!
For they have broken their covenant with me,
and have rebelled against my law.
Matthew 24:28
24:28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures
will gather.
