Ezekiel 19:5-9

Modern English Version

⁵ Now when she saw as she had waited
    that her hope was lost,
then she took another of her whelps
    and made him a young lion.
⁶ He went up and down among the lions;
    he became a young lion,
and learned to catch the prey,
    and devoured men.
⁷ He destroyed their fortified palaces,
    and he laid waste their cities;
and the land and its fullness
    were appalled by the noise of his roaring.
⁸ Then the nations set against him
    on every side from their provinces,
and spread their net over him;
    he was taken in their pit.
⁹ They put him in a cage with hooks
    and 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.
