9 And they put him in a cage with nose-rings in his nose, and they brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into strong-holds, in order that his voice should no more be heard on the mountains of Israel.
10 Thy mother was like a vine, if I compare thee to aught, planted by the waters: fruitful and full of boughs was she by reason of many waters.
11 And she had strong branches fit for the sceptres of rulers, and her stature grew up high between the thick-branched trees, and she was seen through her height by means of the multitude of her tendrils.
12 But she was plucked up in fury, to the ground was she cast down, and the east wind dried up her fruit: and torn off and dried up were her strong branches, a fire consumed them.
13 And now is she planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
14 And fire is gone out of a branch of her boughs, and hath devoured her fruit, so that there is no more on her a strong branch for a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and it is become a lamentation.
