Ezekiel 19:5-9
Lexham English Bible
5 And she saw[a] that she was waiting in vain;
her hope was destroyed,
and she took one from her cubs,
and she made him a fierce lion.
6 And he walked about in the midst of lions;
he became a fierce lion,
and he learned to tear prey;
he ate[b] humans.[c]
7 And he knew their widows,[d]
and he devastated their cities,
and the land was appalled, and everyone in it[e]
at the sound of his roar.
8 And nations set out against him
from the surrounding provinces,[f]
and they spread their net over him,
and he was caught in their pit.
9 And they put him in a collar with hooks,
and they brought him to the king of Babylon;
they brought him into[g] a prison,
so that his voice would not be heard any longer[h]
on the mountains of Israel.
