Ezekiel 17:8-10

VIN(i) 8 "'"It was planted in good soil beside plenty of water so that it could grow branches, bear fruit, and become a wonderful vine."' 9 Say, Thus saith the Sovereign LORD: Shall it prosper? Shall he not pull up its roots, and cut off its fruit, that it may wither? All its fresh sprouting leaves shall wither, even without a great arm and many people to pluck it up by its roots. 10 "‘"Though it is transplanted, will it thrive? Will it not completely wither as soon as the east wind strikes it, wither on the beds where it grew?"’"
