Ezekiel 19:13
And now she is planted in the wilderness - In the land of Chaldea, whither the people have been carried captives; and which, compared with their own land, was to them a dreary wilderness.
11 She had strong branches for scepters of rulers.
aShe towered in stature above the thick branches,
And was seen in her height amid the1 dense foliage.
aShe towered in stature above the thick branches,
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.
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.
And devoured her fruit,
So that she has no strong branch— a scepter for ruling.’ ” bThis is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.
