Ezekiel 17:8-10

Revised Geneva Translation

⁸ “It was planted in a good soil by great waters, so that it would bring forth branches, and bear fruit, and be an excellent vine.”’

⁹ “Say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Shall it prosper? Shall he not pull up its roots and destroy its fruit and cause them to dry up? All the leaves of her bud shall wither without great power or many people to pluck it up by its roots.

¹⁰ “Behold, it was planted, but shall it prosper? Shall it not dry up and wither? When the East wind shall touch it, it shall wither in the trenches where it grew.”’”
