Ezekiel 19:1-6
-
1 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
-
2 And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
-
3 And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
-
4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
-
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.
