Ezekiel 19:2-4

New International Version

“‘What a lioness^(A) was your mother
    among the lions!
She lay down among them
    and reared her cubs.^(B)
3 She brought up one of her cubs,
    and he became a strong lion.
He learned to tear the prey
    and he became a man-eater.
⁴ The nations heard about him,
    and he was trapped in their pit.
They led him with hooks^(C)
    to the land of Egypt.^(D)
