Ezekiel 19:5-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 When she saw that she was thwarted,
that her hope was lost,
she took another of her cubs
and made him a young lion.(A)
6 He prowled among the lions;
he became a young lion,
and he learned to catch prey;
he devoured people.(B)
7 And he ravaged their strongholds[a]
and laid waste their towns;
the land was appalled, and all in it,
at the sound of his roaring.(C)
8 The nations set upon him
from the provinces all around;
they spread their net over him;
he was caught in their pit.(D)
9 With hooks they put him in a neck collar
and brought him to the king of Babylon;
they brought him into custody,
so that his voice should be heard no more
on the mountains of Israel.(E)

Ezekiel 19:5-9
New Living Translation
5 “When the lioness saw
that her hopes for him were gone,
she took another of her cubs
and taught him to be a strong young lion.
6 He prowled among the other lions
and stood out among them in his strength.
He learned to hunt and devour prey,
and he, too, became a man-eater.
7 He demolished fortresses[a]
and destroyed their towns and cities.
Their farms were desolated,
and their crops were destroyed.
The land and its people trembled in fear
when they heard him roar.
8 Then the armies of the nations attacked him,
surrounding him from every direction.
They threw a net over him
and captured him in their pit.
9 With hooks, they dragged him into a cage
and brought him before the king of Babylon.
They held him in captivity,
so his voice could never again be heard
on the mountains of Israel.
