Ezekiel 19:2-4

2and say, ‘What was your mother [Jerusalem and Judah]? A lioness among lions! She lay down among young lions, She reared her cubs.

3When she [the royal mother-city] brought up [Jehoahaz] one of her cubs, He became a [young] lion, And he learned to catch and tear the prey; He devoured men.

4The nations heard about him; He was captured in their pit, And they brought him with hooks To the land of Egypt.
