Ezekiel

ESV

Chapter 19

¹“As for you, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel; ²and say: What was your mother? A lioness among lions! She couched among young lions, she reared her cubs among them. ³She brought up one of her cubs; he became a young lion, and he learned to tear the prey; he devoured men. ⁴The nations heard about him; he was captured in their pit, and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt. ⁵When she saw that she was thwarted, that her hope was lost, she took another of her cubs and made him a young lion. ⁶He prowled among the lions; he became a young lion, and he learned to tear the prey; he devoured men. ⁷He ravaged their strongholds, and laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and all that was in it, by the sound of his roaring. ⁸Then the nations set against him from provinces on every side; they spread their net over him; he was captured in their pit. ⁹With hooks they put him in a cage and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into custody, that his voice should no longer be heard on the mountains of Israel. ¹⁰Your mother was like a vine in a vineyard planted by the water, fruitful and full of branches because of abundant water. ¹¹Its strong stems were for the scepters of rulers, and its height was exalted among the thick clouds; it was seen in its height with the multitude of its branches. ¹²But it was plucked up in fury, cast down to the ground; the east wind dried up its fruit; its strong stems were broken and withered; the fire consumed them. ¹³Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land. ¹⁴And fire has gone out from its stem; it has devoured its fruit, so that there remains in it no strong stem, no scepter for a ruler. This is a lamentation and has become a lamentation.”
