THIS IS A LAMENTATION

EZEKIEL 19:10-14

^{THY MOTHER IS LIKE} 

^{A VINE IN THY BLOOD,} 

^{PLANTED BY THE WATERS:} 

^{SHE WAS FRUITFUL AND FULL} 

^{OF BRANCHES} 

^{BY REASON OF MANY WATERS.} 

^AND 

^{SHE HAD STRONG RODS} 

^{FOR THE SCEPTRES OF THEM} 

^{THAT BARE RULE,} 

^AND 

^{HER STATURE WAS EXALTED} 

^{AMONG THE THICK BRANCHES,} 

^AND 

^{SHE APPEARED IN HER HEIGHT}

^{WITH THE MULTITUDE OF HER} 

^BRANCHES. 

^{BUT SHE WAS} 

^{PLUCKED UP IN FURY,} 

^{SHE WAS CAST DOWN} 

^{TO THE GROUND,} 

^AND 

^{THE EAST WIND DRIED} 

^{UP HER FRUIT:} 

^{HER STRONG RODS} 

^{WERE BROKEN AND WITHERED;} 

^{THE FIRE CONSUMED THEM.} 

^{AND NOW} 

^{SHE IS PLANTED} 

^{IN THE WILDERNESS,} 

^{IN A DRY AND THIRSTY GROUND.
AND} 

^{FIRE IS GONE OUT OF A ROD}

 ^{OF HER BRANCHES,} 

^{WHICH HATH DEVOURED HER FRUIT,} 

^{SO THAT SHE HATH NO STRONG} 

^{ROD TO BE A SCEPTRE TO RULE.} 

^{THIS IS A LAMENTATION,} 

^AND 

^{SHALL BE FOR A LAMENTATION.}

 

 

^LOVE
