Ezekiel 19:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² But it was plucked up in fury,
    cast down to the ground;
the east wind dried it up;
    its fruit was stripped off,
its strong stem was withered;
    the fire consumed it.
¹³ Now it is transplanted into the wilderness,
    into a dry and thirsty land.
¹⁴ And fire has gone out from its stem,
    has consumed its branches and fruit,
so that there remains in it no strong stem,
    no scepter for ruling.
