Ezekiel 19:14

A fire has gone out from its branch; it has consumed its shoot and its fruit. ¹  No strong branch was left in it, nor a scepter to rule.’ This is a lament song, and has become a lament song.”

Fire spread from one of its main branches and consumed its fruit. No strong branch is left on it fit for a ruler’s sceptre.’ This is a lament and is to be used as a lament."

‘And fire has gone out from its branch; It has consumed its shoots and fruit, So that there is not in it a strong branch, A scepter to rule.’" This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.

A fire has come from its branches and devoured its fruit. None of the remaining limbs is strong enough to be a ruler’s scepter.’ This is a funeral song, and it is now time for the funeral."

Good for nothing but making fires, campfires in the desert. Not a hint now of those sturdy branches fit for use as a royal scepter! (This is a sad song, a text for singing the blues.)

And fire has gone out from her rod, causing the destruction of her branches, so that there is no strong rod in her to be the ruler’s rod of authority. This is a song of grief, and it was for a song of grief.

And fire has gone out from its stem, has consumed its branches and fruit, so that there remains in it no strong stem, no scepter for ruling. This is a lamentation, and it is used as a lamentation.

Fire has come out from a rod of her branches And devoured her fruit, So that she has no strong branch––a scepter for ruling.’" This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.

A fire has gone out from its branch; it has consumed its shoot and its fruit. ¹  No strong branch was left in it, nor a scepter to rule.’ This is a lament song, and has become a lament song.”
