Ezekiel 19:5-9
World English Bible
5 “‘Now when she saw that she had waited,
and her hope was lost,
then she took another of her cubs,
and made him a young lion.
6 He went up and down among the lions.
He became a young lion.
He learned to catch the prey.
He devoured men.
7 He knew their palaces,
and laid waste their cities.
The land was desolate,
with its fullness,
because of the noise of his roaring.
8 Then the nations attacked him on every side from the provinces.
They 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 into strongholds,
so that his voice should no more be heard on the mountains of Israel.
Ezekiel 19:5-9
English Standard Version
5 When she saw that she waited in vain,
that her hope was lost,
(A)she took another of her cubs
and made him a young lion.
6 He prowled among the lions;
he became a young lion,
and he learned to catch prey;
he devoured men,
7 and seized[a] their widows.
He laid waste their cities,
and the land was appalled and all who were in it
at the sound of his roaring.
8 (B)Then the nations set against him
from provinces on every side;
(C)they spread their net over him;
(D)he was taken in their pit.
9 With hooks (E)they put him in a cage[b]
and (F)brought him to the king of Babylon;
they brought him into custody,
that his voice should no more be heard
on (G)the mountains of Israel.
