Ezek.|19:1|-|But you, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
Ezek.|19:2|-|And say,What was your mother?
A lioness among lions.She lay in the midst of young lions;
She brought up her whelps.
Ezek.|19:3|-|When she raised up |a|one of her whelps,He became a young lion;
And he learned to take prey;He devoured men.
Ezek.|19:4|-|Then the nations heard of him;He was captured in their pit,
And they |a|brought him with hooksTo the land of Egypt.
Ezek.|19:5|-|When she saw that she had waited,That her hope was lost,
She took |a|another one of her whelps;She made him a young lion.
Ezek.|19:6|-|And he went about among the lions;He became a young lion.
And he learned to take prey;He devoured men.
Ezek.|19:7|-|And he |1|destroyed their citadelsAnd laid waste their cities;
And the land and its fullness were horrifiedAt the sound of his roaring.
Ezek.|19:8|-|Then the nations set against himAll around from the provinces
And spread their net over him;He was captured in their pit.
Ezek.|19:9|-|And they put him in a cage with hooksAnd |a|brought him to the king of Babylon—
They brought him into strongholds—That his voice would no longer be heard
Upon the mountains of Israel.
Ezek.|19:10|-|Your mother was like a |a|vine in your |1|vineyard,Transplanted beside the waters;
It was fruitful and full of branchesBecause of abundant waters.
Ezek.|19:11|-|And it had strong branchesFor scepters of those who rule;
And its height was exalted among the leafy boughs,And it was visible in its height because of the multitude of its branches.
Ezek.|19:12|-|But it was plucked up in wrath;It was cast down to the ground;
And the east wind dried up its fruit;Its strong branch was broken off and it withered;
The |a|fire consumed it.
Ezek.|19:13|-|And now it is transplanted in the wilderness,In a dry and thirsty land.
Ezek.|19:14|-|And fire has gone forth from its branch;It has consumed its offshoots and its fruit,
So that there is |a|no strong branch in it,A scepter to rule.
This is a lamentation and it has become a lamentation.
