Ezekiel 19:5-9 New English Translation (NET)

5. “‘When she realized that she waited in vain, her hope was lost. She took another of her cubs and made him a young lion.

6. He walked about among the lions; he became a young lion.He learned to tear prey; he devoured people.

7. He broke down their strongholds and devastated their cities.The land and everything in it was frightened at the sound of his roaring.

8. The nations – the surrounding regions – attacked him.They threw their net over him; he was caught in their pit.

9. They put him in a collar with hooks; they brought him to the king of Babylon;they brought him to prison so that his voice would not be heard any longer on the mountains of Israel.
