And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel; Ezk 20:49Mat 13:351Co 13:122Sa 12:1-4Ezk 24:3Hos 12:10Jdg 14:12-19Jdg 9:8-15 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar: 1 Hos 8:1Jer 48:40Dan 4:22Ezk 17:72Ch 36:9-102Ki 24:10-16Dan 2:38Dan 7:4 He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffick; he set it in a city of merchants. Isa 43:14Isa 47:15Jer 51:13Rev 18:11-19Rev 18:3 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree. 2 Deu 8:7-9Isa 44:42Ki 24:17Ezk 17:13Ezk 19:11-12Isa 15:7Jer 37:1 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs. Ezk 17:14Pro 16:18-19 There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation. Ezk 17:15Ezk 31:42Ch 26:132Ki 24:20Jer 37:5-7 It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine. 3 Ezk 17:5-6 Say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof. Ezk 17:10Jer 32:52Ch 13:122Ch 20:202Ki 25:4-7Ezk 17:15-17Isa 30:1-7Isa 31:1-3 Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew.

¶ Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon; Ezk 24:19Ezk 1:2Ezk 17:32Ch 36:9-102Ki 24:10-16Act 8:30Deu 6:20Exo 12:26 And hath taken of the king’s seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land: 4 2Ch 36:132Ki 24:15-17Ezk 17:5Jer 24:1Jer 29:2Jer 37:1Jer 5:2 That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand. 5 Ezk 29:141Sa 2:301Sa 2:7Deu 28:43Ezk 17:6Jer 27:12-17Jer 38:17Lam 5:10 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered? 2Ch 36:132Ki 24:20Deu 17:16Ezk 17:7Jer 34:3Jer 38:18Jer 52:3Ezk 17:18 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die. Ezk 12:13Jer 52:112Ki 24:172Sa 21:2Exo 20:7Exo 8:2Ezk 16:59Ezk 17:13 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons: Jer 37:7Ezk 29:6-7Ezk 4:2Isa 36:6Jer 37:5Jer 33:5Jer 52:4Lam 4:17 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape. 1Ch 29:242Ch 30:8Lam 5:6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head. Deu 5:11Jer 5:2Jer 5:9Ezk 21:23-27Jer 7:9-15 And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me.

¶ Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent: Ezk 20:40Isa 11:1-5Isa 53:2Psa 2:6Zec 6:12-13Ezk 40:2Jer 23:5-6Jer 33:15-16 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell. Mat 13:32Ezk 31:6Isa 2:2Hos 14:7Jhn 15:5-8Dan 4:10-14Dan 4:21-23Isa 27:6 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.
