Ezekiel 19:12-14

Easy-to-Read Version

¹²But the vine was pulled up by the roots,
and thrown down to the ground.
The hot east wind blew and dried its fruit.
The strong branches broke, and they were thrown into the fire.

¹³“‘Now that grapevine is planted in the desert.
    It is a very dry and thirsty land.
¹⁴A fire started in the large branch
    and spread to destroy all of its vines and fruit.
So there was no strong walking stick.
    There was no king’s scepter.’

This was a sad song about death, and it was sung as a sad song about death.”
