Ezekiel 17:7
“Another crowd was taken by him, and it became a vine, less vigorous than it was when it was in the vineyard of God and on holy ground, where the sacrifices of God are celebrated, but it was transferred to Babylon as a weak vine.”

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.

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.
6And it sprang up, and became a weak and little vine, so that the branches thereof appeared upon it, and its roots were under it: and it became a vine, and put forth shoots, and sent forth its tendrils.
— Ezekiel 17:7 —
8She thrives in a fair field by much water, to produce shoots and bear fruit, that she might become a great vine.
9Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord; Shall it prosper? shall not the roots of her tender stem and her fruit be blighted? yea, all her early shoots shall be dried up, and that not by a mighty arm, nor by many people, to tear her up from her roots.
