Ezekiel 19:10-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 Your mother was like a vine in a vineyard[a]
transplanted by the water,
fruitful and full of branches
from abundant water.(A)
11 Its strongest stem became
a ruler’s scepter;[b]
it towered aloft
among the clouds;
it stood out in its height
with its mass of branches.(B)
12 But it was plucked up in fury,
cast down to the ground;
the east wind dried it up;
its fruit was stripped off;
its strong stem was withered;
the fire consumed it.(C)
13 Now it is transplanted into the wilderness,
into a dry and thirsty land.(D)
14 And fire has gone out from its stem,
has consumed its branches and fruit,
so that there remains in it no strong stem,
no scepter for ruling.
This is a lamentation, and it is used as a lamentation.(E)

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]

Ezekiel 19:10-14
New International Version
10 “‘Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard[a](A)
planted by the water;(B)
it was fruitful and full of branches
because of abundant water.(C)
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.(D)
12 But it was uprooted(E) in fury
and thrown to the ground.
The east wind(F) made it shrivel,
it was stripped of its fruit;
its strong branches withered
and fire consumed them.(G)
13 Now it is planted in the desert,(H)
in a dry and thirsty land.(I)
14 Fire spread from one of its main[b] branches
and consumed(J) its fruit.
No strong branch is left on it
fit for a ruler’s scepter.’(K)
“This is a lament(L) and is to be used as a lament.”
