The east wind ¹  dried up its fruit;

its strong branches broke off and withered –

a fire consumed them.

No strong branch was left in it, nor a scepter to rule.’

This is a lament song, and has become a lament song.”

43:8 When they placed their threshold by my threshold and their doorpost by my doorpost, with only the wall between me and them, they profaned my holy name by the abominable deeds they committed. So I consumed them in my anger.
