Ezekiel 19 : 2 - 9
Chapter 19
2 | and say: "What is your mother? A lioness: She lay down among the lions; Among the young lions she nourished her cubs. |
3 | She brought up one of her cubs, And he became a young lion; He learned to catch prey, And he devoured men. |
4 | The nations also heard of him; He was trapped in their pit, And they brought him with chains to the land of Egypt. |
5 | "When she saw that she waited, that her hope was lost, She took another of her cubs and made him a young lion. |
6 | He roved among the lions, And became a young lion; He learned to catch prey; He devoured men. |
7 | He knew their desolate places, And laid waste their cities; The land with its fullness was desolated By the noise of his roaring. |
8 | Then the nations set against him from the provinces on every side, And spread their net over him; He was trapped in their pit. |
9 | They put him in a cage with chains, And brought him to the king of Babylon; They brought him in nets, That his voice should no longer be heard on the mountains of Israel. |
