Ezekiel 19:12-14

New Living Translation

¹² But the vine was uprooted in fury
    and thrown down to the ground.
The desert wind dried up its fruit
    and tore off its strong branches,
so that it withered
    and was destroyed by fire.
¹³ Now the vine is transplanted to the wilderness,
    where the ground is hard and dry.
¹⁴ A fire has burst out from its branches
    and devoured its fruit.
Its remaining limbs are not
    strong enough to be a ruler’s scepter.
