Ezekiel 19:2-4

English Standard Version

²and say:

What was your mother? ^(A)A lioness!
    Among lions she crouched;
in the midst of young lions
    she reared her cubs.
³And she brought up one of her cubs;
    ^(B)he became a young lion,
^(C)and he learned to catch prey;
    he devoured men.
⁴The nations heard about him;
    ^(D)he was caught in their pit,
^(E)and they brought him with hooks
    to the land of Egypt.

Ezekiel 19:7-9

English Standard Version

⁷and seized^[a] their widows.
    He laid waste their cities,
and the land was appalled and all who were in it
    at the sound of his roaring.
⁸^(A)Then the nations set against him
    from provinces on every side;
^(B)they spread their net over him;
    ^(C)he was taken in their pit.
⁹With hooks ^(D)they put him in a cage^[b]
    and ^(E)brought him to the king of Babylon;
    they brought him into custody,
that his voice should no more be heard
    on ^(F)the mountains of Israel.
