11 It had strong branches, fit for the scepters of rulers;
its height towered among the clouds.[a]
So it was conspicuous for its height
as well as its many branches.
12 But it was uprooted in fury,(A)
thrown to the ground,
and the east wind dried up its fruit.
Its strong branches were torn off and dried up;(B)
fire consumed them.
13 Now it is planted in the wilderness,(C)
in a dry and thirsty land.

  1. Ezekiel 19:11 Or thick foliage

11 Its branches were strong,
    fit for a ruler’s scepter.
It towered high
    above the thick foliage,
conspicuous for its height
    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)

12 But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.

13 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
