Ezekiel 19:11-13

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹¹ Its strong branches^[a] became scepters for rulers.
    It towered high, among the clouds.
    It was outstanding because of its height,
    and because of the abundance of its branches.
¹² But the vine was uprooted in wrath,
    and it was hurled to the ground.
    The east wind dried up its fruit.
    Its strong branch was torn off so that it dried up,
    and fire devoured it.
¹³ Now it is planted in the wilderness,
    in a dry and thirsty land.
