Ezekiel 19:7-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 19
7He destroyed their palaces And laid waste their cities; And the land and its fullness were appalled Because of the sound of his roaring. 8Then nations set against him On every side from their provinces, And they spread their net over him; He was caught in their trap. 9They put him in a wooden collar with hooks And brought him to the king of Babylon; They brought him in hunting nets So that his voice would no longer be heard On the mountains of Israel. 10Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard, Planted by the waters; It was fruitful and thick with branches Because of abundant waters. 11And it had strong stems fit for scepters of rulers, And its height was raised above the clouds So that it was seen in its height with the mass of its branches. 12But it was uprooted in fury; It was thrown down to the ground; And the east wind dried up its fruit. Its strong stem was torn out So that it withered; The fire consumed it. 13And now it is planted in the wilderness, In a dry and thirsty land.King James Version

Chapter 19
7He devastated their strongholds and destroyed their cities. The land and everything in it shuddered at the sound of his roaring. 8Then the nations from the surrounding provinces set out against him. They spread their net over him; he was caught in their pit.
9They put a wooden yoke on him with hooks and led him away to the king of Babylon. They brought him into the fortresses so his roar could no longer be heard on the mountains of Israel.
10Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard, planted by the water; it was fruitful and full of branches because of abundant water.
11It had strong branches, fit for the scepters of rulers; its height towered among the clouds. So it was conspicuous for its height as well as its many branches.
12But it was uprooted in fury, thrown to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit. Its strong branches were torn off and dried up; fire consumed them.
13Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
New Living Translation
Chapter 19
7He demolished fortresses and destroyed their towns and cities. Their farms were desolated, and their crops were destroyed. The land and its people trembled in fear when they heard him roar. 8Then the armies of the nations attacked him, surrounding him from every direction. They threw a net over him and captured him in their pit. 9With hooks, they dragged him into a cage and brought him before the king of Babylon. They held him in captivity, so his voice could never again be heard on the mountains of Israel.
10'Your mother was like a vine planted by the water’s edge. It had lush, green foliage because of the abundant water.
11Its branches became strong — strong enough to be a ruler’s scepter. It grew very tall, towering above all others. It stood out because of its height and its many lush branches.
12But the vine was uprooted in fury and thrown down to the ground. The desert wind dried up its fruit and tore off its strong branches, so that it withered and was destroyed by fire.
13Now the vine is transplanted to the wilderness, where the ground is hard and dry.

Chapter 19
7and seized their widows. He laid waste their cities, and the land was appalled and all who were in it at the sound of his roaring. 8 Then the nations set against him from provinces on every side; they spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit. 9With hooks they put him in a cage and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into custody, that his voice should no more be heard on the mountains of Israel. 10Your mother was like a vine in a vineyard planted by the water, fruitful and full of branches by reason of abundant water. 11Its strong stems became rulers ' scepters; it towered aloft among the thick boughs; it was seen in its height with the mass of its branches. 12But the vine was plucked up in fury, cast down to the ground; the east wind dried up its fruit; they were stripped off and withered. As for its strong stem, fire consumed it. 13 Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.New International Version
Chapter 19
7He broke down their strongholds and devastated their towns. The land and all who were in it were terrified by his roaring. 8Then the nations came against him, those from regions round about. They spread their net for him, and he was trapped in their pit.
9With hooks they pulled him into a cage and brought him to the king of Babylon. They put him in prison, so his roar was heard no longer on the mountains of Israel.
10" ‘Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard planted by the water; it was fruitful and full of branches because of abundant water.
11Its branches were strong, fit for a ruler’s scepter. It towered high above the thick foliage, conspicuous for its height and for its many branches.
12But it was uprooted in fury and thrown to the ground. The east wind made it shrivel, it was stripped of its fruit; its strong branches withered and fire consumed them.
13Now it is planted in the desert, in a dry and thirsty land.
