And its (B)height was raised above the clouds
So that it was seen in its height with the mass of its branches.

It was (D)thrown down to the ground;
And the (E)east wind dried up its fruit.
[b]Its (F)strong stem [c]was torn out
So that [d]it withered;
The fire consumed it.
13 And now it is planted in the (G)wilderness,
In a dry and thirsty land.
