In context

2“Son of man, pose a riddle; speak a parable to the house of Israel

3And tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers of many colors, came to Lebanon and took away the top of the cedar.

4He plucked off its topmost shoot, carried it to the land of merchants, and planted it in a city of traders.

5He took some of the seed of the land and planted it in fertile soil; he placed it by abundant waters and set it out like a willow.

6It sprouted and became a spreading vine, low in height, with branches turned toward him; yet its roots remained where it stood. So it became a vine and yielded branches and sent out shoots.
