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)

its strong branches withered
    and fire consumed them.(C)
13 Now it is planted in the desert,(D)
    in a dry and thirsty land.(E)
14 Fire spread from one of its main[a] branches
    and consumed(F) its fruit.
No strong branch is left on it
    fit for a ruler’s scepter.’(G)
