| Ezekiel 17:3 | And say, This is what the Lord has said: A great eagle with great wings, full of long feathers of different colours, came to Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar: | | and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A great eagle with great wings, long-pinioned, full of feathers, which was of divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar. |
| Ezekiel 17:4 | Biting off the highest of its young branches, he took it to the land of Canaan, and put it in a town of traders. | | He cropped off the top of its young shoots, and carried it into a merchants' land; he set it in a city of traders. |

| Ezekiel 17:7 | And there was another eagle with great wings and thick feathers: and now this vine, pushing out its roots to him, sent out its branches in his direction from the bed where it was planted, so that he might give it water. | | And there was another great eagle with great wings and many feathers; and behold, from the beds of her plantation, this vine did bend her roots unto him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it. |
| Ezekiel 17:8 | He had it planted in a good field by great waters so that it might put out branches and have fruit and be a strong vine. | | It was planted in a good field by many waters, that it might bring forth branches and bear fruit, that it might be a noble vine. |
| Ezekiel 17:9 | Say, This is what the Lord has said: Will it do well? will he not have its roots pulled up and its branches cut off, so that all its young leaves may become dry and it may be pulled up by its roots? | | Say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Shall it prosper? Shall he not pull up its roots, and cut off its fruit, that it may wither? All its fresh sprouting leaves shall wither, even without a great arm and many people to pluck it up by its roots. |
| Ezekiel 17:10 | And if it is planted will it do well? will it not become quite dry at the touch of the east wind, drying up in the bed where it was planted? | | And behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither when the east wind toucheth it?

| Ezekiel 17:14 | So that the kingdom might be made low with no power of lifting itself up, but might keep his agreement to be his servants. | | that the kingdom might be abased, that it might not lift itself up, that it might keep his covenant in order to stand. |

Will he do well? will he be safe who does such things? if the agreement is broken will he be safe? | | But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape? |
| Ezekiel 17:16 | By my life, says the Lord, truly in the place of the king who made him king, whose oath he put on one side and let his agreement with him be broken, even in Babylon he will come to his death. | | [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily in the place of the king that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him, in the midst of Babylon, shall he die. |
| Ezekiel 17:17 | And Pharaoh with his strong army and great forces will be no help to him in the war, when they put up earthworks and make strong walls for the cutting off of lives: | | Neither shall Pharaoh with a mighty army and a great assemblage do anything for him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts to cut off many persons. |
