Ezekiel 19:5-7

Easy-to-Read Version

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.
⁷ He attacked the palaces and destroyed the cities.
    Everyone in that country was too afraid to speak when hearing his growl.
