CHAPTER XVII. The parable of the two eagles and the vine. A ND the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel; 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle a with great wings, long-winged, full of feathers, which had 1 divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest 4 He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants. 5 He took also of the seed of the land, and 2 planted it in a fruitful c field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow d tree. 6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of lowe stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot 7 There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend f her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation. 8 It was planted in a good 3 soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine. 9 Say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit g thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power, or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof. 10 Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither,h when the east wind i toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew. 11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 12 Say now to the rebellious k 15 But o he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into p Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall q he prosper? shall he escape that Coeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered! 14 That the kingdom might be no base, that it might not lift itself up, 5 but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand. 16 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.r 17 Neither s shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons : 18 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, t and hath done all these things, he shall not escape. 2K1.24.11, 17. 4 brought 5 to keep his covenant to s Je.37.7. t ICh.29.24.

CHAPTER XVIII. a Lu. 1.52.53. La.5.7. God reproveth the unjust parable of sour grapes. THE word of the LORD came unto me again, saying, 2 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, sang, The fathers a have eaten sehr grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge? 3 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel. 4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.b 5 But if a man be just, and do 1 that which is lawful and right, 6 And c hath not eaten upon the mountians, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near tod a menstruous woman, 7 And hath not oppressede any, but hath restored to the debtor his f pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry,g and hath covered the naked with a garment; b Ro.6.23. 19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live,surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head. 1 judgment and justice. c Le.18.19, &c. 20 And I will spread my net u upon him, and he shall be taken in my d Le.20.10. snare, and I will bring him to Ba-e Ex.22,21, bylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me. &c. f De.24.12,13.

EZEKIEL, XIX. that seeth all his father's sins which B.

The song shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness r of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness s of the wicked shall be upon him. 21 But if the wicked will turn t from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep u all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. w Ps. 103. 12. x 1Ti.2.4. 2 Pe.3.9. y He.6.4.6. 10.26.27. 2 Pe.2.20. z Lu. 15. 17, a Pr. 19.3. b Re.2.5. 22 All v his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be w6 or, others, mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.

EZEKIEL, XX. came in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the a elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me. 2 Then came the word of the LORD unto me, saying, 3 Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to inquire of me?
