Ezekiel 19:10-14 — Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁰‘Your mother was ^alike a vine in your ¹vineyard,Planted by the waters;It was fruitful and full of branchesBecause of abundant waters.¹¹‘And it had ¹^,^astrong thick branches fit for scepters of rulers,And its ^bheight was exalted above the cloudsSo that it was seen in its exaltedness with the mass of its foliage.¹²‘But it was ^auprooted in wrath;It was ^bcast down to the ground;And the ^ceast wind dried up its fruit.Its ¹^,^dstrong thick branch ²was torn offSo that ³it dried up;The fire consumed it.¹³‘So now it is planted in the ^awilderness,In a dry and thirsty land.¹⁴‘And ^afire has gone out from its thick branch;It has consumed its shoots and fruit,So that there is not in it a ¹strong thick branch,A scepter to rule.’” This is a lamentation and has become a lamentation.
