Ezequiel 19

World English Bible

¹“Moreover, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, ²and say, ‘What was your mother? A lioness. She couched among lions, in the middle of the young lions she nourished her cubs. ³She brought up one of her cubs. He became a young lion. He learned to catch the prey. He devoured men. ⁴The nations also heard of him. He was taken in their pit; and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt. ⁵“‘Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her cubs, and made him a young lion.
