10 Your mother was (A)like a vine in your [a]vineyard,
Planted by the waters;
It was fruitful and thick with branches
Because of abundant waters.
11 And it had [b](B)strong stems fit for scepters of rulers,
And its (C)height was raised above the clouds
So that it was seen in its height with the mass of its branches.
12 But it was (D)uprooted in fury;
It was (E)thrown down to the ground;
And the (F)east wind dried up its fruit.
[c]Its (G)strong stem [d]was torn out
So that [e]it withered;
The fire consumed it.
