Ezekiel 17
God tells a riddle about two great eagles and a vine to symbolize the relationship between Judah, Babylon, and Egypt. The first great eagle (Nebuchadnezzar) takes a branch (King Jehoiachin) and plants it in a fertile field (Babylon). The second great eagle (Pharaoh) is sought by the remaining vine (King Zedekiah). God condemns Zedekiah for breaking his solemn oath to Babylon. God concludes by promising to take a tender, high branch (the Messianic King) and plant it on the high mountain of Israel, where it will grow into a magnificent cedar.
