Ezekiel 17:1-16

17:1

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

17:2

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>_;

17:3

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>_:

{divers...: Heb. embroidering}

17:4

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)_.

17:5

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>_.

{planted...: Heb. put it in a field of seed}

17:6

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>_.

17:7

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>_.

17:8

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>_.

{soil: Heb. field}

17:9

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.

17:10

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>_.

17:11

Moreover the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

17:12

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>_;

17:13

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>_:

{taken an...: Heb. brought him to an oath}

17:14

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)_.

{but...: Heb. to keep his covenant, to stand to it}

17:15

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)_?

17:16

[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)_.
