And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, put forthH2330 a riddleH2420, and speakH4911 a parableH4912 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478;
And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; A greatH1419 eagleH5404 with greatH1419 wingsH3671, longwingedH83+H750, fullH4392 of feathersH5133, which had divers coloursH7553, cameH935 unto LebanonH3844, and tookH3947 the highest branchH6788 of the cedarH730: {divers…: Heb. embroidering}
He cropped offH6998 the topH7218 of his young twigsH3242, and carriedH935 it into a landH776 of traffickH3667; he setH7760 it in a cityH5892 of merchantsH7402.
He tookH3947 also of the seedH2233 of the landH776, and plantedH5414 it in a fruitfulH2233 fieldH7704; he placedH3947 it by greatH7227 watersH4325, and setH7760 it as a willow treeH6851. {planted…: Heb. put it in a field of seed}
And it grewH6779, and became a spreadingH5628 vineH1612 of lowH8217 statureH6967, whose branchesH1808 turnedH6437 toward him, and the rootsH8328 thereof were under him: so it became a vineH1612, and brought forthH6213 branchesH905, and shotH7971 forth sprigsH6288.
There was also anotherH259 greatH1419 eagleH5404 with greatH1419 wingsH3671 and manyH7227 feathersH5133: and, behold, this vineH1612 did bendH3719 her rootsH8328 toward him, and shot forthH7971 her branchesH1808 toward him, that he might waterH8248 it by the furrowsH6170 of her plantationH4302.
It was plantedH8362 in a goodH2896 soilH7704 by greatH7227 watersH4325, that it might bring forthH6213 branchesH6057, and that it might bearH5375 fruitH6529, that it might be a goodlyH155 vineH1612. {soil: Heb. field}
SayH559 thou, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Shall it prosperH6743? shall he not pull upH5423 the rootsH8328 thereof, and cut offH7082 the fruitH6529 thereof, that it witherH3001? it shall witherH3001 in all the leavesH2964 of her springH6780, even without greatH1419 powerH2220 or manyH7227 peopleH5971 to pluck it upH5375 by the rootsH8328 thereof.
Yea, behold, being plantedH8362, shall it prosperH6743? shall it not utterlyH3001 witherH3001, when the eastH6921 windH7307 touchethH5060 it? it shall witherH3001 in the furrowsH6170 where it grewH6780.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SayH559 now to the rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, KnowH3045 ye not what these things mean? tellH559 them, Behold, the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 is comeH935 to JerusalemH3389, and hath takenH3947 the kingH4428 thereof, and the princesH8269 thereof, and ledH935 them with him to BabylonH894;
And hath takenH3947 of the king'sH4410 seedH2233, and madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with him, and hath takenH935 an oathH423 of him: he hath also takenH3947 the mightyH352 of the landH776: {taken an…: Heb. brought him to an oath}
That the kingdomH4467 might be baseH8217, that it might not lift itself upH5375, but that by keepingH8104 of his covenantH1285 it might standH5975. {but…: Heb. to keep his covenant, to stand to it}
But he rebelledH4775 against him in sendingH7971 his ambassadorsH4397 into EgyptH4714, that they might giveH5414 him horsesH5483 and muchH7227 peopleH5971. Shall he prosperH6743? shall he escapeH4422 that doethH6213 such things? or shall he breakH6565 the covenantH1285, and be deliveredH4422?
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, surely in the placeH4725 where the kingH4428 dwelleth that made him kingH4427, whose oathH423 he despisedH959, and whose covenantH1285 he brakeH6565, even with him in the midstH8432 of BabylonH894 he shall dieH4191.
Neither shall PharaohH6547 with his mightyH1419 armyH2428 and greatH7227 companyH6951 makeH6213 for him in the warH4421, by casting upH8210 mountsH5550, and buildingH1129 fortsH1785, to cut offH3772 manyH7227 personsH5315:
Seeing he despisedH959 the oathH423 by breakingH6565 the covenantH1285, when, lo, he had givenH5414 his handH3027, and hath doneH6213 all these things, he shall not escapeH4422.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; As I liveH2416, surely mine oathH423 that he hath despisedH959, and my covenantH1285 that he hath brokenH6331, even it will I recompenseH5414 upon his own headH7218.
And I will spreadH6566 my netH7568 upon him, and he shall be takenH8610 in my snareH4686, and I will bringH935 him to BabylonH894, and will pleadH8199 with him there for his trespassH4603 that he hath trespassedH4604 against me.
And all his fugitivesH4015 with all his bandsH102 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and they that remainH7604 shall be scatteredH6566 toward all windsH7307: and ye shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will also takeH3947 of the highest branchH6788 of the highH7311 cedarH730, and will setH5414 it; I will crop offH6998 from the topH7218 of his young twigsH3127 a tender oneH7390, and will plantH8362 it upon an highH1364 mountainH2022 and eminentH8524:
In the mountainH2022 of the heightH4791 of IsraelH3478 will I plantH8362 it: and it shall bring forthH5375 boughsH6057, and bearH6213 fruitH6529, and be a goodlyH117 cedarH730: and under it shall dwellH7931 all fowlH6833 of every wingH3671; in the shadowH6738 of the branchesH1808 thereof shall they dwellH7931.
And all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have brought downH8213 the highH1364 treeH6086, have exaltedH1361 the lowH8217 treeH6086, have driedH3001 up the greenH3892 treeH6086, and have made the dryH3002 treeH6086 to flourishH6524: I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 and have doneH6213 it.

So will I break downH2040 the wallH7023 that ye have daubedH2902 with untemperedH8602 morter, and bringH5060 it down to the groundH776, so that the foundationH3247 thereof shall be discoveredH1540, and it shall fallH5307, and ye shall be consumedH3615 in the midstH8432 thereof: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Now the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 that were leftH7604 in the cityH5892, and the fugitivesH5307 that fell awayH5307 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, with the remnantH3499 of the multitudeH1995, did NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carry awayH1540. {fugitives: Heb. fallen away}

And I will setH5414 my faceH6440 against them; they shall go outH3318 from one fireH784, and another fireH784 shall devourH398 them; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I setH7760 my faceH6440 against them.

LORDH3068, when thy handH3027 is lifted upH7311, they will not seeH2372: but they shall seeH2372, and be ashamedH954 for their envyH7068 at the peopleH5971; yea, the fireH784 of thine enemiesH6862 shall devourH398 them. {at…: or, toward thy people}
