Ezekiel 17:8 in Context — Ezekiel 17

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.

7 E houve outra grande águia, de grandes asas e cheia de penas; e eis que esta videira juntou suas raízes para perto dela, e estendeu seus ramos para ela desde o lugar onde estava plantada, para que fosse regada.

8 Em uma boa terra, junto a muitas águas ela estava plantada, para produzir ramos e dar fruto, para que fosse uma videira excelente.

9 Dize: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Por acaso [a videira] terá sucesso? Não arrancará [a águia] suas raízes, e cortará seu fruto, e se secará? Todas as folhas que dela brotavam se secarão; e nem [é necessário] um braço grande, nem muita gente, para a arrancar desde suas raízes.

10 Mas eis que, [mesmo] estando plantada, terá ela sucesso? Por acaso, quando o vento oriental a tocar, ela não se secará por completo? Nos canteiros de seus renovos se secará.
