Ezekiel 19:10-12

New Century Version

¹⁰ “‘Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard,
    planted beside the water.
The vine had many branches and gave much fruit,
    because there was plenty of water.
¹¹ The vine had strong branches,
    good enough for a king’s scepter.
The vine became tall
    among the thick branches.
And it was seen, because it was tall
    with many branches.
¹² But it was pulled up by its roots in anger
    and thrown down to the ground.
The east wind dried it up.
    Its fruit was torn off.
Its strong branches were broken off
    and burned up.
