Ezekiel 19:2-14
New King James Version
2 and say:
‘What is your mother? A lioness:
She lay down among the lions;
Among the young lions she nourished her cubs.
3 She brought up one of her cubs,
And (A)he became a young lion;
He learned to catch prey,
And he devoured men.
4 The nations also heard of him;
He was trapped in their pit,
And they brought him with chains to the land of (B)Egypt.
5 ‘When she saw that she waited, that her hope was lost,
She took (C)another of her cubs and made him a young lion.
6 (D)He roved among the lions,
And (E)became a young lion;
He learned to catch prey;
He devoured men.
7 [a]He knew their desolate places,
And laid waste their cities;
The land with its fullness was desolated
By the noise of his roaring.
8 (F)Then the nations set against him from the provinces on every side,
And spread their net over him;
(G)He was trapped in their pit.
9 (H)They put him in a cage with [b]chains,
And brought him to the king of Babylon;
They brought him in nets,
That his voice should no longer be heard on (I)the mountains of Israel.
10 ‘Your mother was (J)like a vine in your [c]bloodline,
Planted by the waters,
(K)Fruitful and full of branches
Because of many waters.
11 She had strong branches for scepters of rulers.
(L)She towered in stature above the thick branches,
And was seen in her height amid the [d]dense foliage.
12 But she was (M)plucked up in fury,
She was cast down to the ground,
And the (N)east wind dried her fruit.
Her strong branches were broken and withered;
The fire consumed them.
13 And now she is planted in the wilderness,
In a dry and thirsty land.
14 (O)Fire has come out from a rod of her branches
And devoured her fruit,
So that she has no strong branch—a scepter for ruling.’ ”
(P)This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.

2 and say:
“‘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)
5 “‘When she saw her hope unfulfilled,
her expectation gone,
she took another of her cubs(E)
and made him a strong lion.(F)
6 He prowled among the lions,
for he was now a strong lion.
He learned to tear the prey
and he became a man-eater.(G)
7 He broke down[a] their strongholds
and devastated(H) their towns.
The land and all who were in it
were terrified by his roaring.
8 Then the nations(I) came against him,
those from regions round about.
They spread their net(J) for him,
and he was trapped in their pit.(K)
9 With hooks(L) they pulled him into a cage
and brought him to the king of Babylon.(M)
They put him in prison,
so his roar(N) was heard no longer
on the mountains of Israel.(O)
10 “‘Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard[b](P)
planted by the water;(Q)
it was fruitful and full of branches
because of abundant water.(R)
11 Its branches were strong,
fit for a ruler’s scepter.
It towered high
above the thick foliage,
conspicuous for its height
and for its many branches.(S)
12 But it was uprooted(T) in fury
and thrown to the ground.
The east wind(U) made it shrivel,
it was stripped of its fruit;
its strong branches withered
and fire consumed them.(V)
13 Now it is planted in the desert,(W)
in a dry and thirsty land.(X)
14 Fire spread from one of its main[c] branches
and consumed(Y) its fruit.
No strong branch is left on it
fit for a ruler’s scepter.’(Z)
“This is a lament(AA) and is to be used as a lament.”

God Will Deliver Jerusalem
4 For thus the Lord has spoken to me:
(A)“As a lion roars,
And a young lion over his prey
(When a multitude of shepherds is summoned against him,
He will not be afraid of their voice
Nor be disturbed by their noise),
So the Lord of hosts will come down
To fight for Mount Zion and for its hill.
