17:1 And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
vnto
mee,
saying,
17:2 Sonne
of
man,
put
foorth
a
riddle,
and
speake
a
parable
vnto
the
house
of
Israel,
17:3 And
say,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God,
A
great
eagle
with
great
wings,
long
wing'd,
full
of
feathers,
which
had
diuers
colours,
came
vnto
Lebanon,
and
tooke
the
highest
branch
of
the
Cedar.
17:4 Hee
cropt
off
the
top
of
his
yong
twigs,
and
caried
it
into
a
land
of
traffique;
he
set
it
in
a
city
of
merchants.
17:5 Hee
tooke
also
of
the
seed
of
the
land,
and
planted
it
in
a
fruitfull
field,
he
placed
it
by
great
waters,
and
set
it
as
a
willow
tree.
17:6 And
it
grew,
and
became
a
spreading
Uine
of
low
stature,
whose
branches
turned
toward
him,
and
the
roots
thereof
were
vnder
him:
so
it
became
a
Uine,
and
brought
forth
branches,
and
shot
foorth
sprigges.
17:7 There
was
also
an
other
great
eagle,
with
great
wings
and
many
feathers,
and
behold,
this
Uine
did
bend
her
rootes
towards
him,
and
shot
forth
her
branches
toward
him,
that
hee
might
water
it
by
the
furrowes
of
her
plantation.
17:8 It
was
planted
in
a
good
soile
by
great
waters,
that
it
might
bring
forth
branches,
and
that
it
might
beare
fruit,
that
it
might
be
a
goodly
Uine.
17:9 Say
thou,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God;
Shall
it
prosper
shall
he
not
pull
vp
the
rootes
thereof,
and
cut
off
the
fruit
thereof,
that
it
wither
it
shall
wither
in
all
the
leaues
of
her
spring,
euen
without
great
power,
or
many
people
to
plucke
it
vp
by
the
rootes
thereof.
17:10 Yea
behold,
being
planted,
shall
it
prosper
shall
it
not
vtterly
wither,
when
the
East
wind
toucheth
it
it
shal
wither
in
the
furrowes
where
it
grew.
17:11 Moreouer
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
vnto
me,
saying,
17:12 Say
now
to
the
rebellious
house,
Know
ye
not
what
these
things
meane
tell
them,
behold,
the
king
of
Babylon
is
come
to
Ierusalem,
and
hath
taken
the
King
thereof,
and
the
Princes
thereof,
and
ledde
them
with
him
to
Babylon,
17:13 And
hath
taken
of
the
kings
seed,
and
made
a
couenant
with
him,
and
hath
taken
an
oath
of
him:
he
hath
also
taken
the
mighty
of
the
land,
17:14 That
the
kingdome
might
bee
base,
that
it
might
not
lift
it
selfe
vp,
but
that
by
keeping
of
his
Couenant
it
might
stand.
17:15 But
he
rebelled
against
him
in
sending
his
ambassadours
into
Egypt,
that
they
might
giue
him
horses
and
much
people:
shall
he
prosper
shall
he
escape
that
doeth
such
things
or
shall
hee
breake
the
Couenant,
and
bee
deliuered
17:16 As
I
liue,
saith
the
Lord
God,
surely
in
the
place
where
the
king
dwelleth
that
made
him
king,
whose
oath
he
despised,
and
whose
couenant
he
brake,
euen
with
him,
in
the
midst
of
Babylon
he
shall
die.
17:17 Neither
shall
Pharaoh
with
his
mightie
armie
and
great
companie
make
for
him
in
the
warre
by
casting
vp
mounts,
and
building
forts,
to
cut
off
many
persons.
17:18 Seeing
hee
despised
the
oath
by
breaking
the
couenant
(when
loe,
he
had
giuen
his
hand)
and
hath
done
all
these
things,
he
shall
not
escape.
17:19 Therefore
thus
saith
the
Lord
God,
As
I
liue,
surely
mine
oath
that
he
hath
despised,
and
my
Couenant
that
he
hath
broken,
euen
it
will
I
recompense
vpon
his
owne
head.
17:20 And
I
will
spread
my
net
vpon
him,
&
he
shalbe
taken
in
my
snare,
and
I
will
bring
him
to
Babylon,
and
will
plead
with
him
there
for
his
trespasse,
that
he
hath
trespassed
against
me.
17:21 And
all
his
fugitiues,
with
all
his
bands,
shall
fall
by
the
sword,
and
they
that
remaine
shalbe
scattered
towards
all
windes:
and
ye
shall
know
that
I
the
Lord
haue
spoken
it.
17:22 Thus
saith
the
Lord
God,
I
wil
also
take
of
the
highest
branch
of
the
high
Cedar,
and
will
set
it,
I
will
croppe
off
from
the
top
of
his
yong
twigges
a
tender
one,
and
will
plant
it
vpon
an
high
mountaine
and
eminent.
17:23 In
the
mountaine
of
the
height
of
Israel
will
I
plant
it:
and
it
shall
bring
foorth
boughes,
and
beare
fruite,
and
be
a
goodly
Cedar,
and
vnder
it
shall
dwell
all
foule
of
euery
wing:
in
the
shadow
of
the
branches
thereof
shal
they
dwell.
17:24 And
all
the
trees
of
the
field
shall
know
that
I
the
Lord
haue
brought
downe
the
high
tree,
haue
exalted
the
low
tree,
haue
dried
vp
the
greene
tree,
and
haue
made
the
drie
tree
to
flourish:
I
the
Lord
haue
spoken,
and
haue
done
it.
