11 And she had strong branches that became the shivtei moshlim (scepters of rulers), and her stature towered above the thick branches, and she was seen in her height amid the dense branches.
12 But she was uprooted in chemah (fury), she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her p'ri; her strong branches were broken and withered; the eish consumed them.
13 And now she is planted in the midbar, in a dry and thirsty eretz.
14 And eish is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her p'ri, so that she hath no strong branch to be a shevet (sceptre) to rule. This is a kinah lament, and shall be for a funeral dirge.
