Ezekiel 19:12-14

New Century Version

¹² But it was pulled up by its roots in anger
    and thrown down to the ground.
The east wind dried it up.
    Its fruit was torn off.
Its strong branches were broken off
    and burned up.
¹³ Now the vine is planted in the desert,
    in a dry and thirsty land.
¹⁴ Fire spread from the vine’s main branch,
    destroying its fruit.
There is not a strong branch left on it
    that could become a scepter for a king.’
