Ezekiel 19:1-3

Revised Standard Version

Israel Degraded

19 And you, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, ²and say:

What a lioness was your mother
    among lions!
She couched in the midst of young lions,
    rearing her whelps.
³And she brought up one of her whelps;
    he became a young lion,
and he learned to catch prey;
    he devoured men.
