Ezekiel 17:3-4

New International Version

³ Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: A great eagle^(A) with powerful wings, long feathers and full plumage of varied colors came to Lebanon.^(B) Taking hold of the top of a cedar, ⁴ he broke off^(C) its topmost shoot and carried it away to a land of merchants, where he planted it in a city of traders.
