Son of man, how is the vine tree more than any other tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?

Therefore so says the Lord Jehovah, As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give the people of Jerusalem.

And it grew and became a spreading low vine, whose branches turned toward him. And its roots were under him. So it became a vine and brought out branches and shot out boughs.

There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers. And behold, this vine bent its roots toward him and shot out its branches toward him, that he might water it, away from the beds of its planting.

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.

Your mother is like a vine in your blood, planted by the waters; she was fruitful and full of branches because of many waters.
