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
World English Bible
10 “‘Your mother was like a vine
in your blood,
planted by the waters.
It was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
11 It had strong branches for the scepters of those who ruled.
Their stature was exalted among the thick boughs.
They were seen in their height
with the multitude of 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 branches were broken off and withered.
The fire consumed them.
13 Now it is planted in the wilderness,
in a dry and thirsty land.
14 Fire has gone out of its branches.
It has devoured its fruit,
so that there is in it no strong branch to be a scepter to rule.’
This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.”
