Ezekiel:19:9-14

*
And they put him in ward in chains ,
and brought him to the king of Babylon :
they brought him into holds ,
that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood ,
planted by the waters :
she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters .
*
And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule ,
and her stature was exalted among the thick branches ,
and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches .
*
But she was plucked up in fury ,
she was cast down to the ground ,
and the east wind dried up her fruit :
her strong rods were broken and withered ;
the fire consumed them .
*
And now she is planted in the wilderness ,
in a dry and thirsty ground .
*
And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches ,
which hath devoured her fruit ,
so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule .
This is a lamentation ,
and shall be for a lamentation .
