Though the vine is planted in good soil with abundant water, it will wither and die, unable to produce strong branches fit for a ruler's scepter, all because it turns toward the eagle rather than drawing strength from its roots. The withering represents the final destruction of Judah's political independence, ending the Davidic monarchy's claim to autonomous rulership. God's sovereignty ensures that political maneuvering without divine endorsement cannot succeed.
