Ezekiel 19:1-4

The Voice

²     What was your mother? A lioness among the pride!
        She settled down among the young lions and reared her cubs.
³     She trained one of her own, and he became a strong and fierce lion.
        He learned to hunt and tear into his prey; he became a man-eater.
⁴     The nations heard about him and set a trap for him.
        They caught him and led him away with hooks to the land of Egypt.
