Ezekiel 19:10-14

10  Your mother was a like a vine in a vineyard
Some Hebrew manuscripts; most Hebrew manuscripts  in your blood

planted by the water,
c fruitful and full of branches
d by reason of abundant water.
11 Its strong stems became
rulersscepters;
it towered aloft
among the thick boughs;
Or  the clouds

it was seen in its height
with the mass of its branches.
12 But the vine was plucked up in fury,
cast down to the ground;
f the east wind dried up its fruit;
they were stripped off and withered.
As for its strong stem,
fire consumed it.
13  g Now it is planted in the wilderness,
in a dry and thirsty land.
14  h And fire has gone out from the stem of its shoots,
has consumed its fruit,
i so that there remains in it no strong stem,
no scepter for ruling.

This is j a lamentation and has become a lamentation.
