Ezekiel 17 · Grade 2

The Little Twig

Name Date

Read the Story

God told Ezekiel a riddle. A big eagle took the top of a tall tree. He planted a seed by the water. It grew into a vine.

Then God made a promise. He would take a little twig. He would plant it on a high mountain. It would grow into a big tree. Birds would live in its branches.

Memory Verse

“I will plant it in the mountain of the height of Israel; and it will produce boughs, and bear fruit, and be a good cedar. Birds of every kind will dwell in the shade of its branches.”

Ezekiel 17:23 (WEB)
