Ezekiel 19:12-14

Contemporary English Version

¹² But in anger, I pulled her up
    by the roots
and threw her to the ground,
where the scorching desert wind
    dried out her fruit.
Her strong branches wilted
    and burned up.
¹³ Then she was planted
    in a hot, dry desert,
¹⁴ where her stem caught fire,
and flames burned
    her branches and fruit.
Not one strong branch is left;
    she is stripped bare.
