Ezekiel 19:10-12

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁰ “‘Your mother is like a grapevine
    planted near the water.
She had plenty of water,
    so she grew many strong vines.
¹¹ Then she grew large branches.
    They were like a strong walking stick.
    They were like a king’s scepter.
The vine grew taller and taller.
    It had many branches and reached to the clouds.
¹² But the vine was pulled up by the roots,
    and thrown down to the ground.
The hot east wind blew and dried its fruit.
    The strong branches broke, and they were thrown into the fire.
