If you fight against the Chaldeans, you will not succeed.'" Ezekiel 17:9 So you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: 'Will it flourish?

Its strong branches were stripped off and they withered; the fire consumed them. Ezekiel 19:14 Fire has gone out from its main branch and devoured its fruit; on it no strong branch remains fit for a ruler's scepter.' This is a lament and shall be used as a lament."
