  17:1 ¶
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, |
|
17:1 ¶
And the word°
of Yahweh°
came°
unto°
me, saying,°° |
|
17:2
Son of man, relate a tale, and speak a parable to the house of Israel: |
|
17:2
Son°
of man,°
put forth°°
a riddle,°
and speak°°
a parable°
unto°
the house°
of Israel;° |
|
17:3
and thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord; A great eagle with large wings, spreading them out very far, with many claws, which has the design of entering into Lebanon{gr.Libanus}-- and he took the choice [branches] of the cedar: |
|
17:3
And say,°°
Thus°
saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh;°
A great°
eagle°
with great°
wings,°
longwinged,°°
full°
of feathers,°
which°
had divers colours,°
came°°
unto°
Lebanon,°
and took°°°
the highest branch°
of the cedar:° |
|
17:4
he cropped off the ends of the tender twigs, and brought them into the land of Canaan{gr.Chanaan}; he laid them up in a walled city. |
|
17:4
He cropped off°°°
the top°
of his young twigs,°
and carried°°
it into°
a land°
of traffick;°
he set°°
it in a city°
of merchants.°° |
|
17:5
And he took of the seed of the land, and sowed it in a field planted by much water; he set it in a conspicuous place. |
|
17:5
He took°°
also of the seed°°
of the land,°
and planted°°
it in a fruitful°
field;°
he placed°°
[it] by°
great°
waters,°
[and] set°°
it [as] a willow tree.° |
|
17:6
And it sprang up, and became a weak and little vine, so that the branches thereof appeared [upon] it, and its roots were under it: and it became a vine, and put forth shoots, and sent forth its tendrils. |
|
17:6
And it grew,°°
and became°
a spreading°°
vine°
of low°
stature,°
whose branches°
turned°°
toward°
him, and the roots°
thereof were°
under°
him: so it became°
a vine,°
and brought forth°°
branches,°
and shot°°
forth°
sprigs.° |
|
17:7
And there was another great eagle, with great wings and many claws: and, behold, this vine bent itself round toward him, and her roots [were turned] towards him, and she sent forth her branches towards him, that [he] might water her together with the growth of her plantation. |
|
17:7
There was°
also another°
great°
eagle°
with great°
wings°
and many°
feathers:°
and, behold,°
this°
vine°
did bend°°
her roots°
toward him, and shot forth°°
her branches°
toward°
him, that he might water°°
it by the furrows°°
of her plantation.° |
|
17:8
She thrives in a fair field by much water, to produce shoots and bear fruit, that she might become a great vine. |
|
17:8
It°
was planted°°
in°
a good°
soil°
by°
great°
waters,°
that it might bring forth°°
branches,°
and that it might bear°°
fruit,°
that it might be°
a goodly°
vine.° |
|
17:9
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord; Shall it prosper? shall not the roots of her tender stem and her fruit be blighted? yea, all her early shoots shall be dried up, and [that] not by a mighty arm, nor by many people, to tear her up from her roots. |
|
17:9
Say°°
thou, Thus°
saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh;°
Shall it prosper?°°
shall he not°
pull up°°°
the roots°
thereof, and cut off°°
the fruit°
thereof, that it wither?°°
it shall wither°°
in all°
the leaves°°
of her spring,°
even without°
great°
power°
or many°
people°
to pluck it up°°°
by the roots°°
thereof. |
|
17:10
And, behold, it thrives: shall it prosper? shall it not wither as soon as the east wind touches it? it shall be withered together with the growth of its shoots. |
|
17:10
Yea, behold,°
[being] planted,°°
shall it prosper?°°
shall it not°
utterly°°
wither,°°
when the east°
wind°
toucheth°°
it? it shall wither°°
in°
the furrows°
where it grew.° |
|
17:11 ¶
Moreover the word of the Lord came to me saying, |
|
17:11 ¶
Moreover the word°
of Yahweh°
came°
unto°
me, saying,°° |
|
17:12
Son of man, say now to the provoking house, Know ye not what these things were? say [to them], Whenever the king of Babylon shall come against Jerusalem, then he shall take her king and her princes, and shall take them home to Babylon. |
|
17:12
Say°°
now°
to the rebellious°
house,°
Know°°
ye not°
what°
these°
[things mean]? tell°°
[them], Behold,°
the king°
of Babylon°
is come°°
to Jerusalem,°
and hath taken°°°
the king°
thereof, and the princes°
thereof, and led°°
them with°
him to Babylon;° |
|
17:13
And he shall take of the seed royal, and shall make a covenant with him, and shall bind him with an oath: and he shall take the princes of the land: |
|
17:13
And hath taken°°
of the king's°
seed,°°
and made°°
a covenant°
with°
him, and hath taken°°
an oath°
of him: he hath also taken°°
the mighty°
of the land:° |
|
17:14
that it may become a weak kingdom, so as never to lift itself up, that he may keep his covenant, and establish it. |
|
17:14
That the kingdom°
might be°
base,°
that it might not°
lift itself up,°°
[but] that by keeping°°°
of his covenant°
it might stand.°° |
|
17:15
And [if] he shall revolt from him, to send his messengers into Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, that [they] may give him horses and much people; shall he prosper? shall he that acts as an adversary be preserved? and shall he that transgresses the covenant be preserved? |
|
17:15
But he rebelled°°
against him in sending°°
his ambassadors°
into Egypt,°
that they might give°°
him horses°
and much°
people.°
Shall he prosper?°°
shall he escape°°
that doeth°°
such°
[things]? or shall he break°°
the covenant,°
and be delivered?°° |
|
17:16
[As] I live, saith the Lord, verily in [the] place where the king is that made him king, who dishonoured my oath, and who broke my covenant, shall he die with him in the midst of Babylon. |
|
17:16
[As] I°
live,°
saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh,°
surely°°
in the place°
[where] the king°
[dwelleth] that made him king,°°°
whose°°
oath°
he despised,°°
and whose°°
covenant°
he brake,°°
[even] with°
him in the midst°
of Babylon°
he shall die.°° |
|
17:17
And Pharaoh shall make war upon him not with a large force or great multitude, in throwing up a mound, and in building of forts, to cut off souls. |
|
17:17
Neither°
shall Pharaoh°
with [his] mighty°
army°
and great°
company°
make°°
for him in the war,°
by casting up°°
mounts,°
and building°°
forts,°
to cut off°°
many°
persons:° |
|
17:18
Whereas he has profaned the oath so as to break the covenant, when, behold, I engage his hand, and he has done all these things to him, he shall not escape. |
|
17:18
Seeing he despised°°
the oath°
by breaking°°
the covenant,°
when, lo,°
he had given°°
his hand,°
and hath done°°
all°
these°
[things], he shall not°
escape.°° |
|
17:19
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord; [As] I live, surely mine oath which he has profaned, and my covenant which he has transgressed, I will even recompense it upon his head. |
|
17:19
Therefore°
thus°
saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh;°
[As] I°
live,°
surely°°
mine oath°
that°
he hath despised,°°
and my covenant°
that°
he hath broken,°°°
even it will I recompense°°
upon his own head.° |
|
17:20
And I will spread a net upon him, and he shall be caught in its snare. |
|
17:20
And I will spread°°
my net°
upon°
him, and he shall be taken°°
in my snare,°
and I will bring°°
him to Babylon,°
and will plead°°
with°
him there°
for his trespass°°
that°
he hath trespassed°°
against me. |
|
17:21
In every battle of his they shall fall by the sword, and I will scatter [his] remnant to every wind: and ye shall know that I the Lord have spoken it. |
|
17:21
And all°
his fugitives°
with all°
his bands°
shall fall°°
by the sword,°
and they that remain°°
shall be scattered°°
toward all°
winds:°
and ye shall know°°
that°
I°
Yahweh°
have spoken°°
[it]. |
|
17:22 ¶
For thus saith the Lord; I will even take of the choice [branches] of the cedar from the top [thereof], I will crop off their hearts, and I will plant it on a high mountain: |
|
17:22 ¶
Thus°
saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh;°
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:°° |
|
17:23
and I will hang it on a lofty mountain of Israel: yea, I will plant it, and it shall put forth shoots, and shall bear fruit, and it shall be a great cedar: and every bird shall rest beneath it, even every fowl shall rest under its shadow: its branches shall be restored. |
|
17:23
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.°° |
|
17:24
And all the trees of the field shall know that I am the Lord that bring low the high tree, and exalt the low tree, and wither the green tree, and cause the dry tree to flourish: I the Lord have spoken, and will do [it]. |
|
17:24
And all°
the trees°
of the field°
shall know°°
that°
I°
Yahweh°
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°
Yahweh°
have spoken°°
and have done°°
[it]. |
