"Son of man, how will the wood of the vine be {better than} {any of the wood of} the branch which is among the trees of the forest?

Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: {Just like} the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest which I gave to the fire for fuel, so I have given the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

And it sprouted, and {it became a vine spreading out}, low of height, turning its branches to him, and its roots were under it, and {it became a vine}, and it made branches, and it sent out foliage.

" '"And there was another great eagle, great of wings and [with] abundant plumage, and look! This vine stretched out its roots toward him and extended its branches to him to water it from the garden bed {where it was planted}.

It was planted in good field by many waters to produce branches and to bear fruit to become {a beautiful vine}." '

Your mother [was] like the vine in your vineyard; planted {fruitfully} beside water, and it was full of branches from many waters.
