Ezekiel 19:1-9
1“As for you, take up a lament for the princes of Israel 2and say:
‘What was your mother?A lioness among the lions!She lay down among the young lions;she reared her cubs.3She brought up one of her cubs,and he became a young lion.After learning to tear his prey,he devoured men.4When the nations heard of him,he was trapped in their pit.With hooks they led him awayto the land of Egypt.
5When she saw that she had waited in vain,that her hope was lost,she took another of her cubsand made him a young lion.6He prowled among the lions,and became a young lion.After learning to tear his prey,he devoured men.7He broke down their strongholds1and devastated their cities.The land and everything in itshuddered at the sound of his roaring.
8Then the nations set out against himfrom the provinces on every side.They spread their net over him;he was trapped in their pit.9With hooks they caged himand brought him to the king of Babylon.They brought him into captivityso that his roar was heard no longeron the mountains of Israel.
