Ezekiel 19:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 One cub she raised up,
a young lion he became;
He learned to tear apart prey,
he devoured people.(A)
4 Nations heard about him;
in their pit he was caught;
They took him away with hooks
to the land of Egypt.[a](B)
5 When she realized she had waited in vain,
she lost hope.
She took another of her cubs,
and made him a young lion.
