Ezekiel 19:3 CPDV

¹  'And as for you, take up a lament over the leaders of Israel,

²  and you shall say: Why did your mother, the lioness, recline among the male lions, and raise her little ones in the midst of young lions?

³  And she led away one of her little ones, and he became a lion. And he learned to seize prey and to consume men.

⁴  And the Gentiles heard about him, and they seized him, but not without receiving wounds. And they led him away in chains to the land of Egypt.

⁵  Then, when she had seen that she was weakened, and that her hope had perished, she took one of her little ones, and appointed him as a lion.
