'Roots' in the Bible

It sprouted and became a spreading vine,low in height with its branches turned toward him,yet its roots stayed under it.So it became a vine,produced branches, and sent out shoots.

But there was another great eaglewith great wings and thick plumage.And this vine bent its roots toward him!It stretched out its branches to himfrom its planting bed,so that he might water it.

You are to say: This is what the Lord God says:Will it flourish?Will he not tear out its rootsand strip off its fruitso that it shrivels?All its fresh leaves will wither!Great strength and many peoplewill not be needed to pull it from its roots.

It was beautiful in its greatness,in the length of its limbs,for its roots extended to abundant water.
