Ezekiel 19:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

What a lioness was your mother
    among lions!
She lay down among young lions,
    rearing her cubs.^(A)
3 She raised up one of her cubs;
    he became a young lion,
and he learned to catch prey;
    he devoured humans.^(B)
4 The nations heard about him;
    he was caught in their pit,
and they brought him with hooks
    to the land of Egypt.^(C)
