Ezekiel 19:5-9

Common English Bible

⁵ When she realized that she waited in vain, her hope faded.
    So she took another of her cubs and set him up as a strong young lion.
⁶ He went on the prowl with the other lions and became a strong young lion.
    He learned to tear flesh and devour humans;
⁷     he ravaged^[a] their widows and laid waste to their cities.
When the earth and everything in it became horrified by the sound of his raging,
⁸     the nations from the surrounding regions allied against him.
They cast their nets over him and caught him in their trap.
⁹     They put a collar on him and brought him with hooks.
    They brought him with nets to the king of Babylon
        so that his voice would no longer be heard on the mountains of Israel.
