² The Lord will extend Your mighty scepter from Zion.
Rule^[a] over Your surrounding^[b] enemies.^(A)

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.

¹⁴ Fire has gone out from its main branch^[a]
and has devoured its fruit,
so that it no longer has a strong branch,
a scepter for ruling.^(A)
