Ezekiel 19:10-14
New King James Version
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.’ ”
(G)This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.

Ezekiel 19:10-14
21st Century King James Version
10 “‘Thy mother is like a vine in thy likeness, planted by the waters; she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
11 And she had strong rods for the scepters of them that bore rule; and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.
12 But she was plucked up in fury; she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit. Her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.
13 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
14 And fire has gone out from a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a scepter to rule.’ This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.”
