Ezekiel 17:2-4

Common English Bible

² Human one, compose a riddle and a parable about the house of Israel. ³ Say, The Lord God proclaims: The great eagle with great wings, long feathers, and full, colorful plumage came to Lebanon and took the top branch of the cedar. ⁴ He plucked a twig from the cedar’s crown, brought it to the land of traders, and set it down in a city of merchants.
