Bible verses about "willow" | ISV

⁴ He plucked off the top of its shoot, brought it to a land of merchants, and set it down in a city full of traders. ⁵ Then the eagle took a seed from the land and planted it in fertile ground. He planted it like a willow tree next to abundant waters. ⁶ It flourished and became a low, spreading vine. Its branches turned toward him, and its roots spread under him to become a vine that put out shoots and spread out its branches.

⁴⁰ “On the first day, take branches from impressive fruit trees, branches from palm trees, boughs from thick trees, and poplars from the brooks. Then you are to rejoice in the presence of the LORD your God for seven days.

¹ Remembering Jerusalem There we sat down and cried— by the rivers of Babylon— as we remembered Zion. ² On the willows there we hung our harps, ³ for it was there that our captors asked us for songs and our torturers demanded joy from us, “Sing us one of the songs about Zion!” ⁴ How are we to sing the song of the LORD on foreign soil? ⁵ If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function. ⁶ May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you, if I don’t consider Jerusalem to be more important than my highest joy. ⁷ Remember the day of Jerusalem’s fall, LORD, because of the Edomites, who kept saying, “Tear it down! Tear it right down to its foundations!” ⁸ Daughter of Babylon! You devastator! How blessed will be the one who pays you back for what you have done to us. ⁹ How blessed will be the one who seizes your young children and pulverizes them against the cliff!
