Ezekiel 19:14

English Standard Version

14 And fire has gone out from the stem of its shoots, has consumed its fruit, so that there remains in it no strong stem, no scepter for ruling. This is a lamentation and has become a lamentation. (2Ki 24:20; Eze 17:15; Eze 19:1; Eze 19:11)

New International Version

14 Fire spread from one of its main[1] branches and consumed its fruit. No strong branch is left on it fit for a ruler’s sceptre.” This is a lament and is to be used as a lament.’

New International Reader’s Version

14 One of its main branches was Zedekiah. Fire spread from it and burned up its fruit. None of its branches is good enough to be made into a ruler’s sceptre.” This is a song of sadness. And that is how it should be used.’

King James Version

14 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.
