Ezekiel 19:5-9
New American Standard Bible
5 When she saw, as she waited,
That her hope was lost,
She took [a]another of her cubs
And made (A)him a young lion.
6 And he (B)walked about among the lions,
He became a young lion;
He learned to tear his prey;
He devoured people.
7 He [b]destroyed their [c]palaces
And laid waste their cities;
And the land and its fullness were appalled
Because of the sound of his roaring.
8 Then (C)nations set against him
On every side from their provinces,
And they spread their net over him;
He was caught in their trap.
9 (D)They put him in a [d]wooden collar with hooks
And (E)brought him to the king of Babylon;
They brought him in hunting nets
So that his voice would no longer be heard
On the mountains of Israel.
