Ezekiel 19:10-14
Expanded Bible
10 “‘Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard,
planted beside the water.
The vine had many branches and gave much fruit,
because there was plenty of water.
11 The vine had strong ·branches [boughs],
good enough for a king’s scepter.
The vine became tall
among the thick branches.
And it ·was seen [stood out], because it was tall
with many branches.
12 But it was pulled up by its roots in anger
and thrown down to the ground.
The east wind dried it up.
Its fruit was ·torn [stripped] off.
Its strong branches were broken off
and burned up.
13 Now the vine is planted in the ·desert [wilderness],
in a dry and thirsty land.
14 Fire spread from the vine’s main branch,
·destroying [consuming] its fruit.
There is not a strong branch left on it
·that could become a [L no] scepter for a king.’
This is a ·funeral song [lament]; it ·is to be used as [or has become] a funeral song.”

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)
“This is a lament(L) and is to be used as a lament.”
