17:6 It sprouted and became a vine,
spreading low to the ground; 2
its branches turning toward him, 3 its roots were under itself. 4
So it became a vine; it produced shoots and sent out branches.
19:12 But it was plucked up in anger; it was thrown down to the ground.
The east wind 5 dried up its fruit;
its strong branches broke off and withered –
a fire consumed them.
28:17 Your heart was proud because of your beauty;
you corrupted your wisdom on account of your splendor.
I threw you down to the ground;
I placed you before kings, that they might see you.
