Ezekiel 19

1Moreover, takeH5375 thou upH5375 a lamentationH7015 for the princesH5387 of IsraelH3478, 2and sayH559, WhatH4100 was thy motherH517? A lionessH3833: sheH517 couched among lionsH738, in the midstH8432 of the youngH3715 lionsH738 sheH517 nourished herH996 whelps. 3And she broughtH5927 upH5927 one of herH398 whelps; he becameH1961 a youngH3715 lionH3715: and he learnedH3925 to catch the preyH2964, he devouredH398 menH120. 4The nationsH1471 also heardH8085 of him; he was takenH8610 in their pitH7845: and they broughtH935 him with hooksH2397 unto the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 5NowH3588 when sheH3588 sawH7200 that sheH3588 had waitedH3176, and herH3947 hopeH3176 was lostH6, then sheH3588 tookH3947 anotherH259 of herH3947 whelps, and madeH7760 him a youngH3715 lionH3715. 6And he wentH1980 upH398 and downH1980 among the lionsH738, he becameH1961 a youngH3715 lionH738: and he learnedH3925 to catch the preyH2964, he devouredH398 menH120. 7And he knewH3045 their palaces, and laid waste their citiesH5892; and the landH776 was desolateH3456, and the fulness thereof, because of the noiseH6963 of his roaringH7581. 8Then the nationsH1471 setH5414 againstH5921 him on everyH5439 sideH5439 from the provincesH4082: and they spreadH6566 their netH7568 over him; he was takenH8610 in their pitH7845. 9And they putH5414 him in a cageH5474 with hooksH2397, and broughtH935 him to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894; they broughtH935 him intoH413 strong holds, that his voiceH6963 should noH3808 moreH5750 be heardH8085 uponH935 the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478. 10Thy motherH517 was like a vineH1612, in thy bloodH1818, plantedH8362 by the watersH4325: sheH517 was fruitfulH6509 and fullH7227 of branchesH6058 by reasonH5921 of manyH7227 watersH4325. 11And she had strongH5797 rodsH4294 for the sceptres of them that bare ruleH4910, and their statureH6967 was exaltedH1361 among the thick boughs, and they were seenH7200 in their heightH6967 with the multitudeH7230 of their branchesH1808. 12But she was pluckedH5428 upH3001 in furyH2534, she was castH7993 downH7993 to the groundH776, and the eastH6921 windH7307 driedH3001 upH3001 herH398 fruitH6529: herH398 strongH5797 rodsH4294 were broken offH6561 and witheredH3001; the fireH784 consumedH398 them. 13And nowH6258 she is plantedH8362 in the wildernessH4057, in a dryH6723 and thirstyH6772 landH776. 14And fireH784 is goneH3318 outH3318 of the rodsH4294 of herH398 branchesH4294, it hath devouredH398 herH398 fruitH6529, soH1961 that there is in herH398 noH3808 strongH5797 rodH7626 to be a sceptre to ruleH4910. This is a lamentationH7015, and shall be for a lamentationH7015.
