7 And there is one great eagle with great wings and much plumage: and behold, this vine bends her roots toward him and spreads her branches toward him so that he moistens it by the furrows of her plantation.
8 It is transplanted in a good field by great waters, so as to work branches and to bear fruit - to become a mighty vine.
9 Say, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: It prospers! Tears he not the roots, and lops off the fruit, so it withers? It withers in all the prey of her sprout, even without great power or many people to bear it up by the roots.
10 Yes, behold, transplanting, it prospers! In withering, withers it not when the east wind touches it? It withers in the furrows of the sprout.
