Ezekiel 19:1-6

New Revised Standard NRS

1 As for you, raise up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

2 and say: What a lioness was your mother among lions! She lay down among young lions, rearing her cubs.

3 She raised up one of her cubs; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch prey; he devoured humans.

4 The nations sounded an alarm against him; he was caught in their pit; and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.

5 When she saw that she was thwarted, that her hope was lost, she took another of her cubs and made him a young lion.

6 He prowled among the lions; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch prey; he devoured people.
