Context of Ezekiel 19:13

11Its branches became big and strong. They were strong enough to make a ruler's stick of authority. The vine grew taller than all the other trees around it. Everyone could see that it was very tall and strong. 12But the Lord became angry with that vine. He pulled up its roots and he threw it down to the ground. The east wind made it dry and destroyed its fruit. Its strong branches broke and they became useless. Fire destroyed them. Now that vine is growing in a desert. It is in a hot, dry place where there is no water. 14Fire started to burn its strongest branch. From there the fire destroyed its other branches and its fruit. No strong branch remained in the vine. Now there was nothing to make a ruler's stick of authority.” This is a funeral song. It tells a very sad story.’
