Ezekiel 19:2-4

English Standard Version

What was your mother? ^(A)A lioness!
    Among lions she crouched;
in the midst of young lions
    she reared her cubs.
³ And she brought up one of her cubs;
    ^(B)he became a young lion,
^(C)and he learned to catch prey;
    he devoured men.
⁴ The nations heard about him;
    ^(D)he was caught in their pit,
^(E)and they brought him with hooks
    to the land of Egypt.
