12 But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.

13 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.

14 And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.

12 But she was (A)plucked up in fury,
She was cast down to the ground,
And the (B)east wind dried her fruit.
Her strong branches were broken and withered;
The fire consumed them.
13 And now she is planted in the wilderness,
In a dry and thirsty land.
14 (C)Fire has come out from a rod of her branches
And devoured her fruit,
So that she has no strong branch—a scepter for ruling.’ ”

(D)This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.

12 But it was (A)uprooted in fury;
It was (B)thrown down to the ground;
And the (C)east wind dried up its fruit.
[a]Its (D)strong stem [b]was torn out
So that [c]it withered;
The fire consumed it.
13 And now it is planted in the (E)wilderness,
In a dry and thirsty land.
14 And (F)fire has gone out from its stem;
It has consumed its shoots and fruit,
So that there is no [d]strong stem in it,
A scepter to rule.’”

This is a song of mourning, and has become a song of mourning.
