Ezekiel 19:2-6

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.

5When she saw, as she waited, That her hope was lost, She took another of her cubs And made him a young lion.

6And he moved among the lions; He became a young lion, He learned to tear the prey; He devoured men.
