Ezekiel 17 New Living Translation (NLT)

A Story of Two Eagles

17 Then this message came to me from the Lord: ²“Son of man, give this riddle, and tell this story to the people of Israel. ³Give them this message from the Sovereign Lord:

“A great eagle with broad wings and long feathers,
    covered with many-colored plumage,
    came to Lebanon.
He seized the top of a cedar tree
⁴    and plucked off its highest branch.
He carried it away to a city filled with merchants.
    He planted it in a city of traders.
⁵He also took a seedling from the land
    and planted it in fertile soil.
He placed it beside a broad river,
    where it could grow like a willow tree.
⁶It took root there and
    grew into a low, spreading vine.
Its branches turned up toward the eagle,
    and its roots grew down into the ground.
It produced strong branches
    and put out shoots.
⁷But then another great eagle came
    with broad wings and full plumage.
So the vine now sent its roots and branches
    toward him for water,

Matthew 6:9-13 The Voice (VOICE)

⁹Your prayers, rather, should be simple, like this:

    Our Father in heaven,
        let Your name remain holy.
¹⁰    Bring about Your kingdom.
    Manifest Your will here on earth,
        as it is manifest in heaven.
¹¹    Give us each day that day’s bread—no more, no less—
¹²    And forgive us our debts
        as we forgive those who owe us something.
¹³    Lead us not into temptation,
        but deliver us from evil.
    [But let Your kingdom be,
        and let it be powerful
        and glorious forever. Amen.]^[a]
