Ezekiel 19:11-13

Modern English Version

¹¹ It had strong rods
    for the scepters of those who rule.
And its stature
    was exalted above the clouds,
so it appeared in its height
    with the multitude of its 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 rod was broken and it withered;
the fire consumed it.
¹³ Now it is planted in the wilderness,
    in a dry and thirsty ground.
