Ezekiel 19:5-9
New American Standard Bible
5 When she saw, as she waited,
That her hope was lost,
She took [a]another of her cubs
And made (A)him a young lion.
6 And he (B)walked about among the lions,
He became a young lion;
He learned to tear his prey;
He devoured people.
7 He [b]destroyed their [c]palaces
And laid waste their cities;
And the land and its fullness were appalled
Because of the sound of his roaring.
8 Then (C)nations set against him
On every side from their provinces,
And they spread their net over him;
He was caught in their trap.
9 (D)They put him in a [d]wooden collar with hooks
And (E)brought him to the king of Babylon;
They brought him in hunting nets
So that his voice would no longer be heard
On the mountains of Israel.

Ezekiel 19:5-9
New International Version
5 “‘When she saw her hope unfulfilled,
her expectation gone,
she took another of her cubs(A)
and made him a strong lion.(B)
6 He prowled among the lions,
for he was now a strong lion.
He learned to tear the prey
and he became a man-eater.(C)
7 He broke down[a] their strongholds
and devastated(D) their towns.
The land and all who were in it
were terrified by his roaring.
8 Then the nations(E) came against him,
those from regions round about.
They spread their net(F) for him,
and he was trapped in their pit.(G)
9 With hooks(H) they pulled him into a cage
and brought him to the king of Babylon.(I)
They put him in prison,
so his roar(J) was heard no longer
on the mountains of Israel.(K)

King James Version
5 Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.
6 And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.
7 And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring.
8 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
9 And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
