Context Readings

Lament For The Leaders Of Israel

10 "As for thy mother, she is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waterside: her fruits and branches are grown out of many waters, 11 her stalks were so strong that men might have made staves thereof for officers, she grew so high in her stalks. So when men saw that she exceeded the height and multitude of her branches, 12 she was rooted out in displeasure, and cast down to the ground. The East wind dried up her fruit; her strong stalks were broken off, withered, and burnt in the fire.
