Ezekiel 19:10-14

New International Version

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)
