¹² But it was uprooted^(A) in fury
    and thrown to the ground.
The east wind^(B) made it shrivel,
    it was stripped of its fruit;
its strong branches withered
    and fire consumed them.^(C)

¹⁵     even though he thrives^(A) among his brothers.
An east wind^(B) from the Lord will come,
    blowing in from the desert;
his spring will fail
    and his well dry up.^(C)
His storehouse will be plundered^(D)
    of all its treasures.

¹¹ When its twigs are dry, they are broken off^(A)
    and women come and make fires^(B) with them.
For this is a people without understanding;^(C)
    so their Maker has no compassion on them,
    and their Creator^(D) shows them no favor.^(E)

¹¹ Its branches were strong,
    fit for a ruler’s scepter.
It towered high
    above the thick foliage,
conspicuous for its height
    and for its many branches.^(A)
