and he took from the seed of the land and placed it in {fertile soil} on many waters; [like] a willow he planted it.

" '"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}." '

And look! [Though] it is planted, will it prosper? {When the east wind strikes it}, will it not dry up completely? On the garden bed of its vegetation it will dry up!" '"

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

And now [it is] planted in the desert, in a {dry and thirsty land}.

For look! I [am] for you, and I will turn you, and you will be tilled, and you will be planted.

And the nations who are left all around, you will know that I, Yahweh, I built {that which was destroyed}; I planted the desolate [land]; I, Yahweh, I have spoken, and I will act.'
