Ezekiel 19:10-14
New Living Translation
10 “Your mother was like a vine
planted by the water’s edge.
It had lush, green foliage
because of the abundant water.
11 Its branches became strong—
strong enough to be a ruler’s scepter.
It grew very tall,
towering above all others.
It stood out because of its height
and its many lush branches.
12 But the vine was uprooted in fury
and thrown down to the ground.
The desert wind dried up its fruit
and tore off its strong branches,
so that it withered
and was destroyed by fire.
13 Now the vine is transplanted to the wilderness,
where the ground is hard and dry.
14 A fire has burst out from its branches
and devoured its fruit.
Its remaining limbs are not
strong enough to be a ruler’s scepter.
“This is a funeral song, and it will be used in a funeral.”

Ezekiel 19:10-14
English Standard Version
10 Your mother was (A)like a vine in a vineyard[a]
planted by the water,
(B)fruitful and full of branches
(C)by reason of abundant water.
11 Its strong stems became
rulers' scepters;
it towered aloft
among the thick boughs;[b]
it was seen in its height
with the mass of its branches.
12 But the vine was plucked up in fury,
cast down to the ground;
(D)the east wind dried up its fruit;
they were stripped off and withered.
As for its strong stem,
fire consumed it.
13 (E)Now it is planted in the wilderness,
in a dry and thirsty land.
14 (F)And fire has gone out from the stem of its shoots,
has consumed its fruit,
(G)so that there remains in it no strong stem,
no scepter for ruling.
This is (H)a lamentation and has become a lamentation.
