Context Readings

Lament For The Leaders Of Israel

10 Your mother was like a vine in a vineyard planted by the water, fruitful and full of branches by reason of abundant water. 11 ‘And it had strong branches 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.
12 But 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.
