Ezekiel 19:1–9

Moreover ^atake thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, ²And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among ^blions, she nourished her whelps among ^cyoung lions. ³And she brought up one of her whelps: ^dit became ^ca young lion, and it learned ^ddto catch the prey; ^eit devoured men. ⁴The nations also heard of him; ^fhe was taken in ^gtheir pit, and ^hthey brought him ⁱwith chains ^dunto the land of Egypt. ⁵Now when she saw that she had ^jwaited, and her hope was lost, then she took ^kanother of her whelps, and made him ^ca young lion. ⁶And he went up and down among the lions, ^dhe ^lbecame a young lion, ^land learned to catch the prey, ^land devoured men. ⁷And he knew ^||mtheir desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and ⁿthe land was desolate, ⁿand the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring. ^8oThen the nations set against him on every side from ^pthe provinces, and ^qspread their net over him: ^fhe was taken in their pit. ⁹And ^rthey put him in ward ^||in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into ^sholds, that his voice should no more be heard upon ^tthe mountains of Israel.
