Context of Ezekiel 19:8

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