Ezekiel 19:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ When she ·brought up [reared] one of her cubs,
    he became a ·strong [^Lyoung] lion [^CKing Jehoahaz; 2 Kin. 23:31–34; Jer. 22:10–12].
He learned to tear ·the animals he hunted [prey],
    and he ·ate [devoured] people.
⁴ The nations heard about him.
    He was trapped in their pit,
and they brought him with hooks
    to the land of Egypt.
⁵ “‘The mother lion waited and saw
    that there was no hope for her cub.
So she took another one of her cubs
    and made him a ·strong [^Lyoung] lion [^Ceither Jehoiachin (2 Kin. 24:8) or Zedekiah (2 Kin. 25:7)].
