Ezekiel 19:10-12

English Standard Version

¹⁰ Your mother was ^(A)like a vine in a vineyard^[a]
    planted by the water,
^(B)fruitful and full of branches
    ^(C)by reason of abundant water.
¹¹ Its strong stems became
    rulers' scepters;
it towered aloft
    among the thick boughs;^[b]
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;
^(D)the east wind dried up its fruit;
    they were stripped off and withered.
As for its strong stem,
    fire consumed it.
