He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree.

Verse 5 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.

Er nahm auch vom Samen des Landes und pflanzte es in gutes Land, da viel Wasser war, und setzte es lose hin.
Tomó también de la simiente de la tierra, y púsola en un campo bueno para sembrar, plantola junto a grandes aguas, púsola como un sauce.
Tomó también semilla de la tierra y la puso en un campo de siembra. La colocó junto a aguas abundantes, la plantó como un sauce.
Et il prit un rejeton du pays, et le plaça dans un sol fertile; il le mit près d'une eau abondante, et le planta comme un saule.
E prese della stirpe del paese, e la pose in un campo da sementa; e la portò presso a grandi acque, e la pose a guisa di magliuolo.
Tomou da semente da terra, e a lançou num solo frutífero; tomando-a, colocou-a junto às muitas águas, plantando-a como salgueiro.
牠又從這地取了一些種子,種在肥沃的田裏,栽於豐沛的水源旁,如種植柳樹。
