Ezekiel, Chapter 19, verses 2, 10-14

² and say,‘^aWhat was your mother?
A lioness among lions!
She lay down among young lions,
She reared her cubs.

...

¹⁰‘Your mother was like a vine in your^evineyard,
Planted by the waters;
It was fruitful and full of branches
Because of abundant waters.

¹¹‘And it had^fstrong branches fit for scepters of rulers,
And its height was raised above the clouds
So that it was seen in its height with the mass of its branches.

¹²‘But it was plucked up in fury;
It was cast down to the ground;
And the east wind dried up its fruit.
Its^gstrong branch^hwas torn off
So thatⁱit withered;
The fire consumed it.

¹³‘And now it is planted in the wilderness,
In a dry and thirsty land.

¹⁴‘And fire has gone out from its branch;
It has consumed its shoots and fruit,
So that there is not in it a^jstrong branch,
A scepter to rule.’”

This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.
