Ezekiel 19:5-7
Good News Translation
5 She waited until she saw all hope was gone.
Then she raised another of her cubs,
and he grew into a fierce lion.
6 When he was full-grown,
he prowled with the other lions.
He too learned to hunt and eat people.
7 He wrecked forts,[a] he ruined towns.
The people of the land were terrified
every time he roared.
