Ezekiel 19:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 Nations laid out against him
snares all around;
They spread their net for him,
in their pit he was caught.(A)
9 They put him in fetters and took him away
to the king of Babylon,
So his roar would no longer be heard
on the mountains of Israel.
Allegory of the Vine Branch
10 Your mother was like a leafy vine[a]
planted by water,
Fruitful and full of branches
because of abundant water.
