Ezekiel 19:5-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁵ When she saw that she was thwarted,
    that her hope was lost,
she took another of her cubs
    and made him a young lion.^(A)
6 He prowled among the lions;
    he became a young lion,
and he learned to catch prey;
    he devoured people.^(B)
7 And he ravaged their strongholds^[a]
    and laid waste their towns;
the land was appalled, and all in it,
    at the sound of his roaring.^(C)
8 The nations set upon him
    from the provinces all around;
they spread their net over him;
    he was caught in their pit.^(D)
9 With hooks they put him in a neck collar
    and brought him to the king of Babylon;
    they brought him into custody,
so that his voice should be heard no more
    on the mountains of Israel.^(E)
