Ezekiel 17:22-24

Ezekiel 17:22-24

[22] Thus saith  the Lord  GOD;  I will also take  of the highest branch  of the high  cedar,  and will set  it; I will crop off  from the top  of his young twigs  a tender one,  and will plant  it upon an high  mountain  and eminent:  [23] In the mountain  of the height  of Israel  will I plant  it: and it shall bring forth  boughs,  and bear  fruit,  and be a goodly  cedar:  and under it shall dwell  all fowl  of every wing;  in the shadow  of the branches  thereof shall they dwell.  [24] And all the trees  of the field  shall know  that I the LORD  have brought down  the high  tree,  have exalted  the low  tree,  have dried  up the green  tree,  and have made the dry  tree  to flourish:  I the LORD  have spoken  and have done  it.
