Planted by the waters,
bFruitful and full of branches
Because of many waters.

And was seen in her height amid the1 dense foliage.

12 But she was aplucked up in fury,
She was cast down to the ground,
And the beast wind dried her fruit.
Her strong branches were broken and withered;
The fire consumed them.

14 aFire has come out from a rod of her branches
And devoured her fruit,
So that she has no strong branch— a scepter for ruling.’ ” bThis is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.
