10 Your mother was like a vine in a vineyard[a]
    transplanted by the water,
fruitful and full of branches
    from abundant water.
11 Its strongest stem became
    a ruler’s sceptre;[b]
it towered aloft
    among the thick boughs;
it stood out in its height
    with its mass of branches.
12 But it was plucked up in fury,
    cast down to the ground;
the east wind dried it up;
    its fruit was stripped off,
its strong stem was withered;
    the fire consumed it.

    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)
