Ezekiel 17:22-24
22) This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I myself will take a shoot from the very top of a cedar and plant it; I will break off a tender sprig from its topmost shoots and plant it on a high and lofty mountain.
23) On the mountain heights of Israel I will plant it; it will produce branches and bear fruit and become a splendid cedar. Birds
of every kind will nest in it; they will find shelter in the shade of its branches.
24) All the trees of the field will know that I the LORD bring down the tall tree and make the low tree grow tall. I dry up the green tree and make the dry tree flourish. "'I the LORD have spoken, and I will do it.'"
Ezekiel 17:22-24
