Ezekiel 17:21-23

Easy-to-Read Version

²¹and I will destroy his army. I will destroy his best soldiers and scatter them to the wind. Then you will know that I am the Lord and that I told you these things.”

²²This is what the Lord God says:

“I will take a branch from a tall cedar tree.
    I will take a small branch from the top of the tree,
    and I myself will plant it on a very high mountain.
²³I myself will plant it on a high mountain in Israel.
    That branch will grow into a tree.
It will grow branches and make fruit
    and become a beautiful cedar tree.
Many birds will sit on its branches
    and live in the shadows under its branches.
