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)

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.

5 “‘When she saw her hope unfulfilled,
her expectation gone,
she took another of her cubs(A)

He learned to tear the prey
and he became a man-eater.(C)

and devastated(D) their towns.
The land and all who were in it
