11 Its strong stems became
    rulers' scepters;
it towered aloft
    among the thick boughs;[a]
it was seen in its height
    with the mass of its branches.
12 But the vine was plucked up in fury,
    cast down to the ground;
(A)the east wind dried up its fruit;
    they were stripped off and withered.
As for its strong stem,
    fire consumed it.
13 (B)Now it is planted in the wilderness,
    in a dry and thirsty land.

    and for its many branches.(A)
12 But it was uprooted(B) in fury
    and thrown to the ground.
The east wind(C) made it shrivel,
    it was stripped of its fruit;
its strong branches withered
    and fire consumed them.(D)
13 Now it is planted in the desert,(E)
    in a dry and thirsty land.(F)
