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 raised her cubs.
3 ‘When she brought up one of her cubs,
^bHe became a young lion,
And he learned to tear his prey;
He devoured people.
4 ‘Then nations heard about him;
He was caught in their trap,
And they ^cbrought 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 ^ehim a young lion.
6 ‘And he ^fwalked about among the lions,
He became a young lion;
He learned to tear his prey;
He devoured people.
