EZK 17:9

9 Say thou, Thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Shall it thrive? Shall he not pull up the shorashim [(roots)] thereof, and cut off the p'ri [(fruit)] thereof, that it wither? All of its tzemach [(sprouted)] leaves shall wither, even without great power or many peoples to pluck it up by the shorashim [(roots)] thereof.
