10 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have increased in height, and it set its top among the thick boughs, and (A)its heart was [a]lifted up in its height, 11 therefore I will deliver it into the hand of the (B)mighty one of the nations, and he shall surely deal with it; I have driven it out for its wickedness. 12 And aliens, (C)the most terrible of the nations, have cut it down and left it; its branches have fallen (D)on the mountains and in all the valleys; its boughs lie (E)broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the peoples of the earth have gone from under its shadow and left it.

13 ‘On (F)its ruin will remain all the birds of the heavens,
And all the beasts of the field will come to its branches—

14 So that no trees by the waters may ever again exalt themselves for their height, nor set their tops among the thick boughs, that no tree which drinks water may ever be high enough to reach up to them.

‘For (G)they have all been delivered to death,
(H)To the depths of the earth,
Among the children of men who go down to the Pit.’

Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it [a]use up the ground?’ But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. [b]And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can (A)cut it down.’ ”
