Context of Ezekiel 19:8

6And he went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey; he devoured men. 7And he knew their [desolate] palaces, and he laid waste their cities, so that the land was desolate, and all it contained, by the noise of his roaring. Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit. 9And they put him in a cage with nose-rings, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into strongholds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel. 10Thy mother was as a vine, in thy rest, planted by the waters: it was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
