Ezekiel 19:10-14

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁰ Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard,^[a](A)
planted by the water;
it was fruitful and full of branches^(B)
because of plentiful waters.
¹¹ It had strong branches, fit for the scepters of rulers;
its height towered among the clouds.^[b]
So it was conspicuous for its height
as well as its many branches.
¹² But it was uprooted in fury,^(C)
thrown to the ground,
and the east wind dried up its fruit.
Its strong branches were torn off and dried up;^(D)
fire consumed them.
¹³ Now it is planted in the wilderness,^(E)
in a dry and thirsty land.
¹⁴ Fire has gone out from its main branch^[c]
and has devoured its fruit,
so that it no longer has a strong branch,
a scepter for ruling.^(F)
