Ezekiel 19:9-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁹ With hooks they put him in a wooden cage,^[a]
    and they brought him^[b] to the king of Babylon.
    They brought him into prison
        so that his roar would no longer be heard
        on the mountains of Israel.
¹⁰ Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard,^[c]
    planted by water, fruitful and full of branches
    because of plentiful waters.
¹¹ Its strong branches^[d] became scepters for rulers.
    It towered high, among the clouds.
    It was outstanding because of its height,
    and because of the abundance of its branches.
