Ezekiel 19:1-4
1599 Geneva Bible
19 1 The captivity of the kings of Judah signified by the lion’s whelps and by the lion. 10 The prosperity of the city of Jerusalem that is past, and the misery thereof that is present.
1 Thou also take up a lamentation for the [a]princes of Israel,
2 And say, Wherefore lay thy [b]mother as a lioness among the lions? she nourished her young ones among the lion’s whelps,
3 And she brought up one of her whelps, and it became a lion, and it learned to catch the prey, and it devoured men.
4 The [c]nations also heard of him, and he was taken in their nets, and they brought him in chains unto the land of Egypt.
