EZEKIEL 19:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
Fire has gone out from its stems and consumed its branches and fruit, so there remains no strong stem, no scepter for a ruler in the vine—this is the lamentation and it shall be a lamentation. The complete incineration of the vine's ruling stems means the permanent loss of royal authority and Davidic governance in the present age. The identification of the verse itself as the lamentation emphasizes the finality of grief and mourning for the fallen dynasty.
