5And he took some of the seed of the land, planting it in fertile earth, placing it by great waters; he put it in like a willow-tree.
6And its growth went on and it became a vine, low and widely stretching, whose branches were turned to him and its roots were under him: so it became a vine, putting out branches and young leaves.
7And there was another eagle with great wings and thick feathers: and now this vine, pushing out its roots to him, sent out its branches in his direction from the bed where it was planted, so that he might give it water.
8He had it planted in a good field by great waters so that it might put out branches and have fruit and be a strong vine.
9Say, This is what the Lord has said: Will it do well? will he not have its roots pulled up and its branches cut off, so that all its young leaves may become dry and it may be pulled up by its roots?
10And if it is planted will it do well? will it not become quite dry at the touch of the east wind, drying up in the bed where it was planted?
