Context of Ezekiel 19:12

10Your mother was like a grapevine that was planted near water. It had a lot of fruit and many branches because there was plenty of water. 11Its branches were strong. They were used to make scepters for kings. It grew to be tall with many branches around it, and everyone saw it because of its many branches. But in anger it was uprooted and thrown to the ground. The east wind dried up its fruit. Its strong branches broke off. They withered and were burned. 13Now it is planted in the desert, in a dry and waterless land. 14Fire has spread from the vine’s main branch. Fire has destroyed its fruit. It no longer has any strong branches that could be used as a king’s scepter. This is a funeral song. It is to be used as a funeral song.
