Ezekiel 19:2-5 ▼

2 and say, ‘What was your mother? A lioness among lions! She lay down among young lions; She reared her cubs.

3 So she brought up one of her cubs; He became a lion, And he learned to tear his prey; He devoured men.

4 Then nations heard about him; He was captured in their pit, And they brought him with hooks To the land of Egypt.

5 Then she saw, as she waited, That her hope was lost, So she took another of her cubs And made him a young lion.
