10 Your mother was like a grapevine
that was planted near water.
It had a lot of fruit and many branches
because there was plenty of water.
11 Its branches were strong.

It grew to be tall with many branches around it,

The east wind dried up its fruit.
Its strong branches broke off.
They withered and were burned.

    it was stripped of its fruit;
its strong branches withered
    and fire consumed them.(G)
