Ezekiel 19:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 But she was torn out in fury
and flung to the ground;
The east wind withered her up,
her fruit was plucked away;
Her strongest branch dried up,
fire devoured it.(A)
13 Now she is planted in a wilderness,
in a dry, parched land.(B)
14 Fire flashed from her branch,
and devoured her shoots;
Now she does not have a strong branch,
a royal scepter!(C)
This is a lamentation and serves as a lamentation.
