Ezekiel 17:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

17 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

² Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel,

³ And say: Thus saith the Lord God: A large eagle with great wings, long-limbed, full of feathers, and of variety, came to Libanus, and took away the marrow of the cedar.
