Ezekiel 19:5-9
Legacy Standard Bible
5 Then she saw, as she waited,
That her hope was lost,
So she took [a]another of her cubs
And made him a young lion.
6 And he (A)walked about among the lions;
He became a young lion;
He learned to tear his prey;
He devoured men.
7 He [b]knew how to destroy their [c]fortified towers
And laid waste their cities;
And the land was in desolation, as well as its fullness
Because of the sound of his roaring.
8 Then (B)nations put themselves against him
All around from their provinces,
And they spread their net over him;
He was captured in their pit.
9 (C)They put him in a cage with hooks
And (D)brought him to the king of Babylon;
They brought him in hunting nets
So that his voice would be heard no more
On the mountains of Israel.

Ezekiel 19:5-9
Evangelical Heritage Version
5 When she saw that she was waiting in vain,
that her hope was lost,
she took another of her cubs
and made him a young lion.
6 He prowled around among the lions,
because he too had become a young lion.
He learned to tear prey.
He even ate humans.
7 He knew how many widows he made[a]
as he ravaged their cities.
The land and everyone in it were stunned
by the noise of his roaring.
8 Nations set upon him from the surrounding provinces.
They spread their net over him,
and he was trapped in their pit.
9 With hooks they put him in a wooden cage,[b]
and they brought him[c] to the king of Babylon.
They brought him into prison
so that his roar would no longer be heard
on the mountains of Israel.

- Ezekiel 19:7 The translation follows the Hebrew. Other ancient versions read he devastated their strongholds, which seems to fit the parallelism with ravaging cities.
