Ezekiel 19:7 (WEB)
He knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and its fullness, because of the noise of his roaring.
But the vine was plucked up in fury,
cast down to the ground;
the east wind dried up its fruit;
they were stripped off and withered.
As for its strong stem,
fire consumed it.
Ezekiel 19:14 (NRSV)
And fire has gone out from its stem,
has consumed its branches and fruit,
so that there remains in it no strong stem,
no sceptre for ruling.
Ezekiel 19:14 (NRSV)
And fire has gone out from its stem, has consumed its branches and fruit, so that there remains in it no strong stem, no scepter for ruling. This is a lamentation, and it is used as a lamentation.

to enquire of me? As surely as I live, I will not let you enquire of me, declares the Sovereign Lord.”
