Ezekiel 17:24
And all the trees of the field shall know that I the Lord have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the Lord have spoken and have done it.

Study Note
God declares that all the trees of the field will know that he has brought down the high tree and exalted the low tree — a reversal-of-fortunes formula that encapsulates a central theme in Hebrew prophecy. The immediate context is the allegory of the two eagles and the vine (Ezekiel 17), where Babylon ('the great eagle') and Egypt are contrasted with God's own planting. The phrase 'I the Lord have spoken and have done it' (17:24b) underscores divine sovereignty: history's reversals are not random but enacted by God's word. Jesus' parables of the mustard seed (Mark 4:32) and the great tree draw on this same tradition of divine reversal through the planting of the lowly.
