²² The stone which the builders rejected, was the very one for the head of the corner.

¹ Again a word of the Lord came to me, saying, ² Son of man, relate a fable and speak a parable to the house of Israel ³ and thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord, There was a great eagle with large wings, rapid in its motion and completely furnished with talons: and it winged its way to Libanus, and took hold of its choicest cedar; ⁴ and cropped the tops of the tender branch and brought them to the land of Chanaan, and in a walled city they were deposited. ⁵ Then he took a seedling of the land, and planted it in a field by much water, and ordered it to be taken care of. ⁶ And it sprang up and became a vine weak and small, so that its branches could be seen only by them near it. But it had roots underneath it, so it grew to be a vine, and put forth shoots and extended its tendrils. ⁷ And there was another eagle with large wings and many talons: and lo! this vine warped towards him, and its roots were towards him and it shot out its branches for him, that he might water it together with the shoot of its own planting, ⁸ which being in a good soil by much water grew luxuriantly, so as to blossom and bear fruit, and become a great vine. ⁹ Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord, Shall it prosper? Shall not the roots of this tender shoot and its fruit be blasted? Yes; all its former shoots shall wither; so that it will not require a strong arm nor much people to pull it up by its roots. ¹⁰ Though behold it is luxuriant, shall it prosper; shall it not wither at the first touch of a blasting wind? Both it and its sprouting shoot shall be withered. ¹¹ Moreover a word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man say now to this rebellious house, Do you not know the meaning of this? ¹² Say, When the king of Babylon hath come to Jerusalem, and shall take the king thereof and the chiefs thereof, and hath caused them to be brought to him to Babylon; ¹³ and shall take one of the royal seed and make a covenant with him, and shall lay him under an oath and comprehend the generals of the land, ¹⁴ that it shall be a weak kingdom and never be independent; that he will keep this covenant with him and that it shall stand. ¹⁵ Now should he revolt from him so as to send his ambassadors to Egypt, that it may furnish him with horses and a great army, shall he prosper? Shall he who is perfidious escape? And shall he who breaketh a covenant be delivered? ¹⁶ As I live saith the Lord, in the place where the king liveth, who made him king; even with him in Babylon shall he die who hath dishonoured my oath and broken my covenant: and neither with a great army nor with much people,

³⁴ But I say to you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne: ³⁵ nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great king, ³⁶ neither shalt thou swear by thy head; for thou canst not make one hair white or black. ³⁷ But let your word yes, be yes; and your no, no; for whatever exceedeth these, proceedeth from that which is evil.

⁶ I am astonished that you are so soon carried away, to another message of peace, from him who by the favour of Christ called you: ⁷ which is owing to nothing but this, that there are some who trouble you, and wish to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ. ⁸ But if we, or an angel from heaven, proclaim to you as glad tidings any thing different from what we have proclaimed to you, let him be an anathema. As we said before, ⁹ so I now say again, If any one teach you as glad tidings any thing different from what you have received, let him be anathema.
