Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 17 of Ezekiel. The parable of the two great eagles and the vine describes political events through natural images. One power plants a vine that depends on another authority, but the vine seeks a second eagle. The symbolism represents the breaking of a political dependency and the consequences of trusting alternative alliances.

Siehe, er ist zwar gepflanzt; aber sollte er geraten? Ja, sobald der Ostwind an ihn rühren wird, wird er verdorren auf dem Platz, da er gewachsen ist.
Y he aquí que plantada está ella, ¿será prosperada? ¿No se secará del todo cuando el viento solano la tocare? En los surcos de su verdor se secará.
Ahí está plantada: ¿prosperará? ¿No se secará por completo cuando la toque el viento del este? En los mismos surcos donde creció se secará».
Voici, elle est plantée: prospérera-t-elle? Si le vent d'orient la touche, ne séchera-t-elle pas? Elle séchera sur le parterre où elle a poussé.
Ora, eccola piantata; prospererà ella però? non si seccherà ella del tutto, come prima il vento orientale l’avrà tocca? ella si seccherà sopra i rigagnoli che l’avran fatta germogliare.
Mas, estando plantada, prosperará? Porventura, tocando-lhe vento oriental, de todo não se secará? Nas covas do seu plantio se secará.
看哪,葡萄樹雖然栽種了,豈能發旺呢?一經東風擊打,豈不全然枯乾了嗎?它必在生長的苗圃中枯乾了。」
