Ezekiel Chapter 17 - King James Strong Number Version

1: And the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> came unto me, saying, <H0559>
2: Son <H1121> of man, <H0120> put forth <H2330> a riddle, <H2420> and speak <H4911> a parable <H4912> unto the house <H1004> of Israel; <H3478>
3: And say, <H0559> Thus saith <H0559> the Lord <H0136> GOD; <H3069> A great <H1419> eagle <H5404> with great <H1419> wings, <H3671> longwinged, <H0083> <H0750> full <H4392> of feathers, <H5133> which had divers colours, <H7553> came <H0935> unto Lebanon, <H3844> and took <H3947> the highest branch <H6788> of the cedar: <H0730>
4: He cropped off <H6998> the top <H7218> of his young twigs, <H3242> and carried <H0935> it into a land <H0776> of traffick; <H3667> he set <H7760> it in a city <H5892> of merchants. <H7402>
5: He took <H3947> also of the seed <H2233> of the land, <H0776> and planted <H5414> it in a fruitful <H2233> field; <H7704> he placed <H3947> [it] by great <H7227> waters, <H4325> [and] set <H7760> it [as] a willow tree. <H6851>
6: And it grew, <H6779> and became a spreading <H5628> vine <H1612> of low <H8217> stature, <H6967> whose branches <H1808> turned <H6437> toward him, and the roots <H8328> thereof were under him: so it became a vine, <H1612> and brought forth <H6213> branches, <H0905> and shot forth <H7971> sprigs. <H6288>
7: There was also another <H0259> great <H1419> eagle <H5404> with great <H1419> wings <H3671> and many <H7227> feathers: <H5133> and, behold, this vine <H1612> did bend <H3719> her roots <H8328> toward him, and shot forth <H7971> her branches <H1808> toward him, that he might water <H8248> it by the furrows <H6170> of her plantation. <H4302>
8: It was planted <H8362> in a good <H2896> soil <H7704> by great <H7227> waters, <H4325> that it might bring forth <H6213> branches, <H6057> and that it might bear <H5375> fruit, <H6529> that it might be a goodly <H0155> vine. <H1612>
9: Say <H0559> thou, Thus saith <H0559> the Lord <H0136> GOD; <H3069> Shall it prosper? <H6743> shall he not pull <H5423> up the roots <H8328> thereof, and cut off <H7082> the fruit <H6529> thereof, that it wither? <H3001> it shall wither <H3001> in all the leaves <H2964> of her spring, <H6780> even without great <H1419> power <H2220> or many <H7227> people <H5971> to pluck it up <H5375> by the roots <H8328> thereof.
10: Yea, behold, [being] planted, <H8362> shall it prosper? <H6743> shall it not utterly <H3001> wither, <H3001> when the east <H6921> wind <H7307> toucheth <H5060> it? it shall wither <H3001> in the furrows <H6170> where it grew. <H6780>
11: Moreover the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> came unto me, saying, <H0559>
12: Say <H0559> now to the rebellious <H4805> house, <H1004> Know <H3045> ye not what these [things mean]? tell <H0559> [them], Behold, the king <H4428> of Babylon <H0894> is come <H0935> to Jerusalem, <H3389> and hath taken <H3947> the king <H4428> thereof, and the princes <H8269> thereof, and led <H0935> them with him to Babylon; <H0894>
13: And hath taken <H3947> of the king's <H4410> seed, <H2233> and made <H3772> a covenant <H1285> with him, and hath taken <H0935> an oath <H0423> of him: he hath also taken <H3947> the mighty <H0352> of the land: <H0776>
14: That the kingdom <H4467> might be base, <H8217> that it might not lift itself up, <H5375> [but] that by keeping <H8104> of his covenant <H1285> it might stand. <H5975>
15: But he rebelled <H4775> against him in sending <H7971> his ambassadors <H4397> into Egypt, <H4714> that they might give <H5414> him horses <H5483> and much <H7227> people. <H5971> Shall he prosper? <H6743> shall he escape <H4422> that doeth <H6213> such [things]? or shall he break <H6565> the covenant, <H1285> and be delivered? <H4422>
16: [As] I live, <H2416> saith <H5002> the Lord <H0136> GOD, <H3069> surely in the place <H4725> [where] the king <H4428> [dwelleth] that made him king, <H4427> whose oath <H0423> he despised, <H0959> and whose covenant <H1285> he brake, <H6565> [even] with him in the midst <H8432> of Babylon <H0894> he shall die. <H4191>
17: Neither shall Pharaoh <H6547> with [his] mighty <H1419> army <H2428> and great <H7227> company <H6951> make <H6213> for him in the war, <H4421> by casting up <H8210> mounts, <H5550> and building <H1129> forts, <H1785> to cut off <H3772> many <H7227> persons: <H5315>
18: Seeing he despised <H0959> the oath <H0423> by breaking <H6565> the covenant, <H1285> when, lo, he had given <H5414> his hand, <H3027> and hath done <H6213> all these [things], he shall not escape. <H4422>
19: Therefore thus saith <H0559> the Lord <H0136> GOD; <H3069> [As] I live, <H2416> surely mine oath <H0423> that he hath despised, <H0959> and my covenant <H1285> that he hath broken, <H6331> even it will I recompense <H5414> upon his own head. <H7218>
20: And I will spread <H6566> my net <H7568> upon him, and he shall be taken <H8610> in my snare, <H4686> and I will bring <H0935> him to Babylon, <H0894> and will plead <H8199> with him there for his trespass <H4604> that he hath trespassed <H4603> against me.
21: And all his fugitives <H4015> with all his bands <H0102> shall fall <H5307> by the sword, <H2719> and they that remain <H7604> shall be scattered <H6566> toward all winds: <H7307> and ye shall know <H3045> that I the LORD <H3068> have spoken <H1696> [it].
22: Thus saith <H0559> the Lord <H0136> GOD; <H3069> I will also take <H3947> of the highest branch <H6788> of the high <H7311> cedar, <H0730> and will set <H5414> [it]; I will crop off <H6998> from the top <H7218> of his young twigs <H3127> a tender one, <H7390> and will plant <H8362> [it] upon an high <H1364> mountain <H2022> and eminent: <H8524>
23: In the mountain <H2022> of the height <H4791> of Israel <H3478> will I plant <H8362> it: and it shall bring forth <H5375> boughs, <H6057> and bear <H6213> fruit, <H6529> and be a goodly <H0117> cedar: <H0730> and under it shall dwell <H7931> all fowl <H6833> of every wing; <H3671> in the shadow <H6738> of the branches <H1808> thereof shall they dwell. <H7931>
24: And all the trees <H6086> of the field <H7704> shall know <H3045> that I the LORD <H3068> have brought down <H8213> the high <H1364> tree, <H6086> have exalted <H1361> the low <H8217> tree, <H6086> have dried up <H3001> the green <H3892> tree, <H6086> and have made the dry <H3002> tree <H6086> to flourish: <H6524> I the LORD <H3068> have spoken <H1696> and have done <H6213> [it].
