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
American Standard Version
10 Thy mother was like a vine, [a]in thy blood, planted by the waters: it was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters. 11 And it had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and [b]their stature was exalted among the [c]thick boughs, and [d]they were seen in [e]their height with the multitude of [f]their branches. 12 But it was plucked up in fury, it was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit: its strong rods were broken off and withered; the fire consumed them. 13 And now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land. 14 And fire is gone out of [g]the rods of its branches, it hath devoured its fruit, so that there is in it no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
