The verses around it, from Ezekiel 17.
1 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Son of man, pose a riddle; speak a parable to the house of Israel
3 and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers of many colors, came to Lebanon and took away the top of the cedar.
4 He plucked off its topmost shoot, carried it to the land of merchants, and planted it in a city of traders.
5 He took some of the seed of the land and planted it in fertile soil; he placed it by abundant waters and set it out like a willow.
6 It sprouted and became a spreading vine, low in height, with branches turned toward him; yet its roots remained where it stood. So it became a vine and yielded branches and sent out shoots.
