In context

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.

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.

— Ezekiel 17:8 —

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.

10And, behold, it thrives: shall it prosper? shall it not wither as soon as the east wind touches it? it shall be withered together with the growth of its shoots.
