Ezekiel 19:4-6

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴ “‘The people heard him roar,
    and they caught him in their trap.
They put hooks in his mouth
    and carried the young lion to Egypt.

⁵ “‘The mother lion had hoped that cub would become the leader,
    but now she has lost all hope.
So she took another of her cubs
    and trained him to be a lion.
⁶ He hunted with the adult lions
    and became a strong young lion.
He learned to catch his food.
    He killed and ate a man.
