nkjv@Ezekiel:19:1 @ "Moreover take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
nkjv@Ezekiel:19:2 @ and say: "What is your mother? A lioness: She lay down among the lions; Among the young lions she nourished her cubs.
nkjv@Ezekiel:19:3 @ She brought up one of her cubs, And he became a young lion; He learned to catch prey, And he devoured men.
nkjv@Ezekiel:19:4 @ The nations also heard of him; He was trapped in their pit, And they brought him with chains to the land of Egypt.
nkjv@Ezekiel:19:5 @ "When she saw that she waited, that her hope was lost, She took another of her cubs and made him a young lion.
nkjv@Ezekiel:19:6 @ He roved among the lions, And became a young lion; He learned to catch prey; He devoured men.
nkjv@Ezekiel:19:7 @ He knew their desolate places, And laid waste their cities; The land with its fullness was desolated By the noise of his roaring.
nkjv@Ezekiel:19:8 @ Then the nations set against him from the provinces on every side, And spread their net over him; He was trapped in their pit.
nkjv@Ezekiel:19:9 @ They put him in a cage with chains, And brought him to the king of Babylon; They brought him in nets, That his voice should no longer be heard on the mountains of Israel.
