But she was uprooted in fury, cast to the ground, and dried by the east wind until her fruit and strong branch withered and burned.

In context
1“As for you, take up a lament for the princes of Israel 2and say: 3She brought up one of her cubs, 4When the nations heard of him, 5When she saw that she had waited in vain, 6He prowled among the lions, 7He broke down their strongholds 8Then the nations set out against him 9With hooks they caged him 10Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard, 11It had strong branches, fit for a ruler’s scepter. 12But it was uprooted in fury, 13Now it is planted in the wilderness, 14Fire has gone out from its main branch
