Ezekiel 19:5-9
New King James Version
5 ‘When she saw that she waited, that her hope was lost,
She took (A)another of her cubs and made him a young lion.
6 (B)He roved among the lions,
And (C)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 (D)Then the nations set against him from the provinces on every side,
And spread their net over him;
(E)He was trapped in their pit.
9 (F)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 (G)the mountains of Israel.
