Ezekiel 19:2-4

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

What a lioness was your mother
    among lions!
She couched in the midst of young lions,
    rearing her whelps.
³ And she brought up one of her whelps;
    he became a young lion,
and he learned to catch prey;
    he devoured men.
⁴ The nations sounded an alarm against him;
    he was taken in their pit;
and they brought him with hooks
    to the land of Egypt.
