Open this scene in the reader →7And there was another great eagle with great wings and much plumage; and behold, this vine bent its roots toward him and sent out its branches to him, that he might water it from the beds where it was planted.
8It was planted in a good field by abundant waters, to produce branches and bear fruit, to become a majestic vine.
9Say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: Will it prosper? Will he not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, so that it dries up? All the fresh leaves of its growth will wither. And not by a great arm or by many people will it be lifted from its roots.’
10And look, though it is planted, will it prosper? Will it not completely wither when the east wind touches it? It will wither on the beds where it sprouted.
