Ezekiel 19:8-10
Contemporary English Version
8 Nations plotted to kill him,
and people came from all over
to spread out a net
and catch him in a trap.
9 They put him in a cage
and took him to Babylonia.
The lion was locked away,
so that his mighty roar
would never again be heard
on Israel's hills.
10 Your mother was a vine like you,[a]
growing near a stream.
There was plenty of water,
so she was filled with branches
and with lots of fruit.
