14 Fire spread from one of its main branches

and consumed its fruit.

No strong branch is left on it

fit for a ruler’s scepter.’

“This is a lament and is to be used as a lament.”

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.

14 A fire has burst out from its branches

and devoured its fruit.

Its remaining limbs are not

strong enough to be a ruler’s scepter.

“This is a funeral song, and it will be used in a funeral.”

14 Fire has come out from a rod of her branches

And devoured her fruit,

So that she has no strong branch—a scepter for ruling.’ ”

This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.

14 Fire spread from the vine’s main branch,

destroying its fruit.

There is not a strong branch left on it

that could become a scepter for a king.’

This is a funeral song; it is to be used as a funeral song.”

14 And fire is gone out of the rods of its branches, it hath devoured its fruit, so that there is in it no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.

14 and a fire is gone out of a rod of its branches, which hath devoured its fruit; so that it hath no strong rod to be a sceptre for ruling. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.

14 Fire has spread from the vine’s main branch. 

Fire has destroyed its fruit. 

It no longer has any strong branches 

that could be used as a king’s scepter. 

This is a funeral song. It is to be used as a funeral song. 

14 Fire has gone out from its main branch

and has devoured its fruit,

so that it no longer has a strong branch,

a scepter for ruling.

This is a lament and should be used as a lament.”

14 And fire has gone out from its stem,

has consumed its branches and fruit,

so that there remains in it no strong stem,

no scepter for ruling.

This is a lamentation, and it is used as a lamentation.

14 And so fire has gone out from the stem of its branches;

its fruit it has consumed,

and there was not in it a strong branch,

a scepter for ruling.’ ”

This is a lament, and it will be used as a lament.

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 rod.’

“That is a song of sadness. And that is how it should be used.”

14 ‘And fire has gone out from its branch;

It has consumed its shoots and fruit,

So that there is not in it a strong branch,

A scepter to rule.’ ”

This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.
