In this chapter, we get a parable about two eagles and a vine. One of the eagles carries off part of a cedar and plants it. The parable of the eagles is interpreted within the chapter to be the kingdom of the Babylonians removing the kings of Judah.
The chapter concludes with another parable about a shoot of the cedar being planted by God in the mountains of Israel. This will become large and birds of all kinds will nest in it. This parable is not interpreted within the chapter, but from a Christian perspective, we can see parallels of this parable to Christ. Further, Christ was renowned for speaking in parables.
