Ezekiel 17:6-8

New American Standard Bible

⁶ Then it sprouted and became a low, spreading vine with its branches turned toward him, but its roots remained under it. So it became a vine and produced shoots and sent out branches.

⁷ “But there was ^[a]another great eagle with great wings and much plumage; and behold, this vine turned its roots toward him and sent out its branches toward him from the beds where it was ^(A)planted, so that he might water it. ⁸ It was planted in good ^[b]soil beside abundant waters, so that it would produce branches and bear fruit, and become a splendid vine.”’
