⁸ It had been transplanted
    to good soil by abundant waters,
so that it might produce branches
    and bear fruit
    and become a noble vine.

⁵ Then he took a seedling from the land,
    placed it in fertile soil;
a plant^[a] by abundant waters,
    he set it like a willow twig.^(A)
6 It sprouted and became a vine
    spreading out but low;
its branches turned toward him;
    its roots remained where it stood.
So it became a vine;
    it brought forth branches,
    put forth foliage.
