Ezekiel 19

¹“Moreover, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

²and say,

³She brought up one of her cubs.

⁴The nations also heard of him.

⁵“‘Now when she saw that she had waited,

⁶He went up and down among the lions.

⁷He knew their palaces,

⁸Then the nations attacked him on every side from the provinces.

⁹They put him in a cage with hooks,

¹⁰“‘Your mother was like a vine in your blood, planted by the waters.

¹¹It had strong branches for the scepters of those who ruled.

¹²But it was plucked up in fury.

¹³Now it is planted in the wilderness,

¹⁴Fire has gone out of its branches.
