Ezekiel 19:2-4

Complete Jewish Bible

‘What a mother you had —
a lioness among lions!
She lay down among young lions
and reared her cubs.
³ One of her cubs she singled out:
he became a young lion,
he learned to seize his prey,
he became a man-eater.
⁴ The nations sounded an alarm against him;
and he was caught in their pit.
With hooks they dragged him off
to the land of Egypt.
