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.

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.

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.

Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.

And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
