2Sonne of man, put foorth a riddle, and speake a parable vnto the house of Israel, 3And say, Thus saith the Lord God, A great eagle with great wings, long wing'd, full of feathers, which had diuers colours, camevnto Lebanon, and tooke the highest branch of the Cedar. 4Hee cropt off the top of his yong twigs, and caried it into a land of traffique; he set it in a city of merchants. 5Hee tooke also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitfull field, he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree. 6And it grew, and became a spreading Uine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were vnder him: so it became a Uine, and brought forth branches, and shot foorth sprigges.
