Interpretation: Isaiah's cutting of sprigs is read as God trimming away the proud enemy just before it seems to succeed, and Ezekiel's vine as the small kingdom of Judah. In the primary lessons: in the tales, a small green branch used as a charm or picked for its scent

### Examples

- For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the bud becometh a ripening grape, He will cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks, and the shoots will He take away and lop off. (Prophets ISA.18.5, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/S/sprig/#x1)
- And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose tendrils might turn toward him, and the roots thereof be under him; so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs. (Prophets EZK.17.6, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/S/sprig/#x2)
