nkjv Ezekiel:19:9-14
nkjv@Ezekiel:19:9 @ They put him in a cage with chains, And brought him to the king of Babylon; They brought him in nets, That his voice should no longer be heard on the mountains of Israel.
nkjv@Ezekiel:19:10 @ "Your mother was like a vine in your bloodline, Planted by the waters, Fruitful and full of branches Because of many waters.
nkjv@Ezekiel:19:11 @ She had strong branches for scepters of rulers. She towered in stature above the thick branches, And was seen in her height amid the dense foliage.
nkjv@Ezekiel:19:12 @ But she was plucked up in fury, She was cast down to the ground, And the east wind dried her fruit. Her strong branches were broken and withered; The fire consumed them.
nkjv@Ezekiel:19:13 @ And now she is planted in the wilderness, In a dry and thirsty land.
nkjv@Ezekiel:19:14 @ Fire has come out from a rod of her branches And devoured her fruit, So that she has no strong branch-- a scepter for ruling."' This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.
