Ezekiel 19:10-14
Legacy Standard Bible
10 Your mother was (A)like a vine in your [a]vineyard,
Planted by the waters;
It was fruitful and full of branches
Because of abundant waters.
11 And it had [b](B)strong thick branches fit for scepters of rulers,
And its (C)height was exalted above the clouds
So that it was seen in its exaltedness with the mass of its foliage.
12 But it was (D)uprooted in wrath;
It was (E)cast down to the ground;
And the (F)east wind dried up its fruit.
Its [c](G)strong thick branch [d]was torn off
So that [e]it dried up;
The fire consumed it.
13 So now it is planted in the (H)wilderness,
In a dry and thirsty land.
14 And (I)fire has gone out from its thick branch;
It has consumed its shoots and fruit,
So that there is not in it a [f]strong thick branch,
A scepter to rule.’”
This is a lamentation and has become a lamentation.

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 abundant water.
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)
This is a lament and should be used as a lament.”
