'Branch' in the Bible

“Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any wood of a branch which is among the trees of the forest?

‘But it was plucked up in fury;It was cast down to the ground;And the east wind dried up its fruit.Its strong branch was torn offSo that it withered;The fire consumed it.

‘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.
