'Branch' in the Bible

And He said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? Is it not enough for the house of Judah to commit the detestable things they are practicing here, that they must also fill the land with violence and repeatedly provoke Me to anger, even putting the branch to their nose?

“Son of man, how does the wood of the vine, that branch among the trees of the forest, compare to any other wood?

Fire has gone out from its main branchand has devoured its fruit,so that it no longer has a strong branch,a scepter for ruling.This is a lament and should be used as a lament.”
