12 But the vine was plucked up in fury,
    cast down to the ground;

    they were stripped off and withered.
As for its strong stem,
    fire consumed it.
13 (B)Now it is planted in the wilderness,
    in a dry and thirsty land.
14 (C)And fire has gone out from the stem of its shoots,

(D)so that there remains in it no strong stem,
    no scepter for ruling.

This is (E)a lamentation and has become a lamentation.
