They put a wooden yoke on him[a] with hooks(A)

on the mountains of Israel.(B)

10 Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard,[b](C)
planted by the water;
it was fruitful and full of branches(D)
because of plentiful waters.

its height towered among the clouds.[c]
So it was conspicuous for its height
as well as its many branches.
