Ezekiel 17:22

17:22 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says:

“‘I will take a sprig ¹  from the lofty top of the cedar and plant it. ² 

I will pluck from the top one of its tender twigs;

I myself will plant it on a high and lofty mountain.

[17:22]  ¹ sn The language is analogous to messianic imagery in Isa 11:1; Zech 3:8; 6:4 although the technical terminology is not the same.

[17:22]  ² tc The LXX lacks “and plant it.”
