Ezekiel 19:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ “‘The mother lion waited and saw
    that there was no hope for her cub.
So she took another one of her cubs
    and made him a ·strong [^Lyoung] lion [^Ceither Jehoiachin (2 Kin. 24:8) or Zedekiah (2 Kin. 25:7)].
⁶ This cub ·roamed [prowled] among the lions.
    He was now a ·strong [^Lyoung] lion.
He learned to tear ·the animals he hunted [prey],
    and he ·ate [devoured] people.
⁷ He tore down their ·strong places [strongholds; fortresses]
    and ·destroyed [devastated] their cities.
The land and everything in it
    were terrified by the sound of his roar.
