8‘Then nations set against him
         On every side from their provinces,
         And they spread their net over him;
         He was captured in their pit.

9‘They put him in a cage with hooks
         And brought him to the king of Babylon;
         They brought him in hunting nets
         So that his voice would be heard no more
         On the mountains of Israel.

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

11‘And it had strong 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 strong branch was torn off
         So that it 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 strong branch,
         A scepter to rule.’”
         This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.
