Ezekiel 17:5 in Context — Ezekiel 17
3 Tu diras: Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Un grand aigle, aux longues ailes, aux ailes déployées, couvert de plumes de toutes couleurs, vint sur le Liban, et enleva la cime d’un cèdre.
4 Il arracha le plus élevé de ses rameaux, l’emporta dans un pays de commerce, et le déposa dans une ville de marchands.
5 Et il prit un rejeton du pays, et le plaça dans un sol fertile; il le mit près d’une eau abondante, et le planta comme un saule.
6 Ce rejeton poussa, et devint un cep de vigne étendu, mais de peu d’élévation; ses rameaux étaient tournés vers l’aigle, et ses racines étaient sous lui; il devint un cep de vigne, donna des jets, et produisit des branches.
7 Il y avait un autre aigle, grand, aux longues ailes, au plumage épais. Et voici, du parterre où elle était plantée, cette vigne étendit avec avidité ses racines de son côté et dirigea ses rameaux vers lui, afin qu’il l’arrosât.
