Ezekiel 19:10-14
Lexham English Bible
10 Your mother was like the vine in your vineyard;[a]
planted fruitfully[b] beside water,
and it was full of branches
from many waters.[c]
11 And she produced branches of strength[d]
to[e] scepters of rulers;
its height became tall
between[f] thick foliage,
and it was seen[g] because of its tallness
among the abundance of its branches.
12 But it was uprooted in rage;
it was thrown to the earth,
and the east wind dried up its fruit;
they were stripped off,
and its strong branch dried up;
fire consumed it.
13 And now it is planted in the desert,
in a dry and thirsty land.[h]
14 And so fire has gone out from the stem of its branches;
its fruit it has consumed,
and there was not in it a strong branch,[i]
a scepter for ruling.’”
This is a lament, and it will be used as a lament.[j]
