Story guide: The final image remains an elegiac plant metaphor and avoids a literal city inferno.
Open this scene in the reader →12But she was uprooted in wrath; she was thrown down to the ground. And the east wind dried up her fruit; her strong branch was torn off and withered; fire consumed it.
13And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
14And fire went out from a branch of its limbs; it consumed its fruit, and there was not in it a strong branch, a scepter to rule. This is a lamentation, and it has become a lamentation.
