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)

5 When she saw that she waited in vain,
that her hope was lost,
(A)she took another of her cubs
and made him a young lion.
6 He prowled among the lions;
he became a young lion,
and he learned to catch prey;
he devoured men,
7 and seized[a] their widows.
He laid waste their cities,
and the land was appalled and all who were in it
at the sound of his roaring.
8 (B)Then the nations set against him
from provinces on every side;
(C)they spread their net over him;
(D)he was taken in their pit.
9 With hooks (E)they put him in a cage[b]
and (F)brought him to the king of Babylon;
they brought him into custody,
that his voice should no more be heard
on (G)the mountains of Israel.

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)
