Ezekiel 17:4 in Context — Ezekiel 17

2 Filho do homem, propõe um enigma, e fala uma parábola à casa de Israel.

3 E dize: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Uma grande águia, de grandes asas e de comprida plumagem, cheia de penas de várias cores, veio ao Líbano, e tomou o mais alto ramo de um cedro.

4 Arrancou o topo de seus renovos, e o trouxe à terra de comércio; na cidade de mercadores ela o pôs.

5 E tomou da semente da terra, e a lançou em um campo fértil; tomando-a, plantou-a junto a grandes águas, como [se fosse] um salgueiro.

6 E brotou, e tornou-se uma videira larga, [porém] de baixa estatura; seus ramos olhavam para ela, e suas raízes estavam debaixo dela; e tornou-se uma videira, que produzia ramos e brotava renovos.
