Ezekiel 19:2-6

2 and say, ‘ ^{▼▼ Or Why did your mother, a lioness, lie down among lions; among young lions rear her cubs?}What was your mother?
A lioness among lions!
She lay down among young lions,
She reared her cubs.
3 ‘When she brought up one of her cubs,
He became a lion,
And he learned to tear his prey;
He devoured men.
4 ‘Then nations heard about him;
He was captured in their pit,
And they ^bbrought him with hooks
To the land of Egypt.
5 ‘When she saw, as she waited,
That her hope was lost,
She took ^{▼▼ Lit one}another of her cubs
And made him a young lion.
6 ‘And he ^dwalked about among the lions;
He became a young lion,
He learned to tear his prey;
He devoured men.
