RF EZE 17:1 Ezekiel ordered to make a puzzle out of a vine plant.
Again the message of the EVER-LIVING came to me saying:—
RF EZE 17:2 "Son of Adam! Make a puzzle and an enigma about the House of Israel,
RF EZE 17:3 and say, 'Thus says the Mighty Lord, There was a great eagle with big strong spreading wings, full of variegated feathers, who came to Lebanon, and seized his cedar boughs,—
RF EZE 17:4 the topmost shoots,—broke them off, and carried them to the Land of Trade,—planting them in the Town of Merchants.
RF EZE 17:5 He also took some of the seed from that country, and sowed it on a seed-field, near plenty of water,—he planted it like a willow,
RF EZE 17:6 and it grew, and became like a luxuriant vine; low in height, with branches twisting on themselves, and its roots were under it. Thus it became a vine, and produced and sent out shoots.
RF EZE 17:7 "But there was another Great Eagle with big wings, and many feathers, and you see this vine turned its roots towards him, and sent out branches for him to water it,—
RF EZE 17:8 on the open field by plenty of water where it was set to produce grapes,—to bear fruit, and be a glorious vine.
RF EZE 17:9 "Ask this," said the Mighty Lord, "will it prosper? Will he not cut off its roots, shoots, and fruit? and make all its flourishing leaves wither, even without a strong arm, or many people to pull it up from the roots?
RF EZE 17:10 So look! having been planted will it prosper?—will it not at the approach of the East Wind wither on the bed where it grows?"
RF EZE 17:11 Again the message of the EVER-LIVING came to me to say:—
RF EZE 17:12 "Ask the rebellious family, Do you not know what this thing means? You saw the king of Babel came to Jerusalem, and he took its king and princes, and brought them with him to Babel.
RF EZE 17:13 Then he took some of the Royal Family, and made a treaty with it, and brought it to the oath, and took the nobles from the country,
RF EZE 17:14 so that the kingdom might be depressed, and unable to rise,—and be kept standing by the treaty.
RF EZE 17:15 It, however, revolted from it by sending ambassadors to Mitzer to give it cavalry and a great army. Having done this, will it prosper and escape? And having broken the treaty, can it escape?
RF EZE 17:16 By My life," says the Mighty Lord, "in the house of the king who made him king, in which he is a captive, and where he has broken the treaty,—in the country of Babel, he shall die!
RF EZE 17:17 Nor shall Pharoh succeed with him in the war by his great force, or numerous army, by heaping up embankments, or building ramparts, and destroying many lives,
RF EZE 17:18 although he despised the oath, and broke the treaty! Be sure although he has given his hand, and done all this,—he shall not escape."
RF EZE 17:19 The Parable of the Lord's Cedar on the High Hill.
The Mighty Lord therefore says this, "I will bring My oaths that he has despised, and My treaty that he has broken, on his own head,
RF EZE 17:20 and spread My net over him. Yes! I will lay My snare, and bring him to Babel, and condemn him there for all that he has wronged Me.
RF EZE 17:21 And all his flying troops shall fall by the sword;—and the remnants be scattered to the winds—then you will learn that I am the EVER-LIVING Who has said it!"
RF EZE 17:22 Thus says the MIGHTY LORD; "I also will take a branch of a tall cedar, and plant it,—from the top of its twigs I will pluck a tender shoot, and plant it on a high and noble hill,—
RF EZE 17:23 I will plant it on the highest hill of Israel where it will shoot up boughs and produce fruit, and become a glorious cedar, and birds of every kind will fix their homes in the shadow of its branches.
RF EZE 17:24 Then all the trees of the field will learn that I, the EVER-LIVING, have depressed the lofty tree,—and exalted the lowly tree,—have exhausted the vigorous tree, and made the dry tree flourish,—that I, the EVER-LIVING, have promised, and done it."
