Ezekiel 19:9-11

Amplified Bible

‘They put him in a cage with hooks and chains
And brought him to the king of Babylon;
They brought him in hunting nets
So that his voice would be heard no more
On the mountains of Israel.

‘Your mother [Jerusalem] was like a vine in your ^[a]vineyard,
Planted by the waters;
It was fruitful and full of branches
Because of abundant water.^(A)

‘And it had strong branches for the scepters of rulers,
And its height was raised above the thick branches and into the clouds
So that it was seen [easily] in its height with the mass of its branches.
