Ezekiel 19:5-7
Evangelical Heritage Version
5 When she saw that she was waiting in vain,
that her hope was lost,
she took another of her cubs
and made him a young lion.
6 He prowled around among the lions,
because he too had become a young lion.
He learned to tear prey.
He even ate humans.
7 He knew how many widows he made[a]
as he ravaged their cities.
The land and everyone in it were stunned
by the noise of his roaring.
Footnotes
- Ezekiel 19:7 The translation follows the Hebrew. Other ancient versions read he devastated their strongholds, which seems to fit the parallelism with ravaging cities.
