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.”

10 ‘Your mother was (A)like a vine in your [a]bloodline,
Planted by the waters,
(B)Fruitful and full of branches
Because of many waters.
11 She had strong branches for scepters of rulers.
(C)She towered in stature above the thick branches,
And was seen in her height amid the [b]dense foliage.
12 But she was (D)plucked up in fury,
She was cast down to the ground,
And the (E)east wind dried her fruit.
Her strong branches were broken and withered;
The fire consumed them.
13 And now she is planted in the wilderness,
In a dry and thirsty land.
14 (F)Fire has come out from a rod of her branches
And devoured her fruit,
So that she has no strong branch—a scepter for ruling.’ ”
