Ezekiel 19:5-9
Authorized (King James) Version
5 Now when she saw that she had waited,
and her hope was lost,
then she took another of her whelps,
and made him a young lion.
6 And he went up and down among the lions,
he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey,
and devoured men.
7 And he knew their desolate palaces,
and he laid waste their cities;
and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof,
by the noise of his roaring.
8 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces,
and spread their net over him:
he was taken in their pit.
9 And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon:
they brought him into holds,
that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
Ezekiel 19:5-9
American Standard Version
5 Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion. 6 And he went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men. 7 And he knew their [a]palaces, and laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, because of the noise of his roaring. 8 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces; and they spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit. 9 And they put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into strongholds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
