Context of Ezekiel 19:8

6He walked about among the lions; he became a young lion. He learned to tear prey; he devoured people. 7He broke down their strongholds and devastated their cities. The land and everything in it was frightened at the sound of his roaring. The nations – the surrounding regions – attacked him. They threw their net over him; he was caught in their pit. 9They put him in a collar with hooks; they brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him to prison so that his voice would not be heard any longer on the mountains of Israel. 10“‘Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard, planted by water. It was fruitful and full of branches because it was well-watered.
