Ezekiel 19:1-4

Modern English Version

What was your mother?
    A lioness among lions!
She lay down among young lions;
    she nourished her whelps.
³ When she brought up one of her whelps,
    he became a lion
and learned to catch his prey;
    he devoured men.
⁴ The nations also heard of him;
    he was taken in their pit,
and they brought him with chains
    to the land of Egypt.
