Ezekiel 17:6-7

spreading low to the ground; ¹ 

its branches turning toward him, ²  its roots were under itself. ³ 

So it became a vine; it produced shoots and sent out branches.

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.
