Ezekiel 19:5-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁵ When she saw that she waited in vain,
that her hope was lost,
she took another of her cubs
and made him a young lion.
⁶ He prowled among the lions,^(A)
and he became a young lion.
After he learned to tear prey,
he devoured people.
⁷ He devastated their strongholds^[a]
and destroyed their cities.
The land and everything in it shuddered
at the sound of his roaring.
⁸ Then the nations from the surrounding provinces
set out against him.^(B)
They spread their net over him;
he was caught in their pit.
⁹ They put a wooden yoke on him^[b] with hooks^(C)
and led him away to the king of Babylon.
They brought him into the fortresses
so his roar could no longer be heard
on the mountains of Israel.^(D)
