In context

4he cropped off the ends of the tender twigs, and brought them into the land of Canaan; he laid them up in a walled city.

5And he took of the seed of the land, and sowed it in a field planted by much water; he set it in a conspicuous place.

— Ezekiel 17:6 —

7And there was another great eagle, with great wings and many claws: and, behold, this vine bent itself round toward him, and her roots were turned toward him, and she sent forth her branches toward him, that he might water her together with the growth of her plantation.

8She thrives in a fair field by much water, to produce shoots and bear fruit, that she might become a great vine.
