Planted by the waters;
It was fruitful and full of branches
Because of abundant waters.
11 ‘And it had [b](B)strong branches fit for scepters of rulers,
And its (C)height was raised above the clouds
So that it was seen in its height with the mass of its branches.
12 ‘But it was (D)plucked up in fury;
It was (E)cast down to the ground;
And the (F)east wind dried up its fruit.
Its [c](G)strong branch [d]was torn off
So that [e]it withered;
The fire consumed it.
