Ezekiel 17:22-24
22 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
I myself will take a shoot from the very top of a
cedar and plant it;
I will break off a tender sprig from its topmost
shoots
and plant it on a high and lofty mountain.
23 On the mountain heights of Israel I will plant it;
it will produce branches and bear fruit and become a
splendid cedar.
Birds of every kind will nest in it;
they will find shelter in the shade of its branches.
24 All the trees of the forest will know that I the
Lord
bring down the tall tree and make the low tree grow
tall.
I dry up the green tree and make the dry tree
flourish.
“‘I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.’”
