Parable Of Two Eagles And A Vine

8 It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring out branches, and that it might bear fruit, to be a splendid vine. 9 Say, So says the Lord Jehovah: Shall it prosper? Shall he not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, and wither it? All the leaves of its sprouting shall wither, and not with great arm, nor by many people shall any raise it by its roots. 10 And behold, being planted, shall it prosper? Shall it not utterly wither when the east wind touches it? It shall wither in the beds where it sprouted.
