Ezekiel 19:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹ With hooks they dragged him into a cage
    and took him away to the king of Babylon.
He was imprisoned, and his roars were no longer heard
    on the mountains of Israel.

¹⁰ Your mother was like a vine
    planted by the water.
It was fruitful and full of branches
    because of the abundant water.
¹¹ Its branches were strong,
    suitable for a ruler’s scepter.
It towered in stately height
    among the dense foliage.
It was conspicuous for its height
    and its many branches.
