Context of Ezekiel 19:12

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. But 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. 14Fire has gone out from its main branch and 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.”
