19:10 你的母親先前如葡萄樹，極其茂盛（原文是在你血中），栽於水旁。因為水多，就多結果子，滿生枝子；
19:11 生出堅固的枝幹，可作掌權者的杖。這枝幹高舉在茂密的枝中，而且它生長高大，枝子繁多，遠遠可見。
19:12 但這葡萄樹因忿怒被拔出摔在地上；東風吹乾其上的果子，堅固的枝幹折斷枯乾，被火燒毀了；
19:13 如今栽於曠野乾旱無水之地。
19:14 火也從它枝幹中發出，燒滅果子，以致沒有堅固的枝幹可作掌權者的杖。這是哀歌，也必用以作哀歌。
10 Your mother was like a vine in a
vineyard
planted by the water,
fruitful and full of branches
by
reason of abundant water.
11 Its strong stems became
rulers 'scepters;
it towered aloft
among the thick boughs;
it was seen in its height
with the mass of its branches.
12 But the vine was plucked up in fury,
cast down to the ground;
the
east wind dried up its fruit;
they were stripped off and withered.
As for its strong stem,
fire consumed it.
13 Now it is planted in the wilderness,
in a dry and thirsty land.
14 And fire has gone out from the stem of
its shoots,
has consumed its fruit,
so
that there remains in it no strong stem,
no scepter for ruling.
This is a lamentation and has become a
lamentation.

這段是描寫猶大民族本來有自己的王朝，興盛繁茂。但是現在已經被上帝拔出，種於難以生存的環境，不再能夠有獨立的王朝，這是已經發生的事情。因為他們被擄到別國去了！
但是上帝並沒有斷絕自己對大衛的應許，因為我們知道：稱為萬王之王的耶穌基督，按肉體說是大衛的子孫。也因此，這個應許並沒有斷絕，上帝依然沒有忘記他對人的拯救！
讓我們靠著耶穌基督成為上帝的兒女，進入上帝在萬古以先，在基督裡為我們預備的恩典！
