Ezekiel 19

Israel Degraded

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

A Lament for the Princes of Israel

And you, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

and say:
‘What is your mother? A lioness:
She lay down among the lions;
Among the young lions she nourished her cubs.

and say:
What was your mother? A lioness!
Among lions she crouched;
in the midst of young lions
she reared her cubs.

She brought up one of her cubs,
And he became a young lion;
He learned to catch prey,
And he devoured men.

And she brought up one of her cubs;
he became a young lion,
and he learned to catch prey;
he devoured men.

The nations also heard of him;
He was trapped in their pit,
And they brought him with chains to the land of Egypt.

The nations heard about him;
he was caught in their pit,
and they brought him with hooks
to the land of Egypt.

‘When she saw that she waited, that her hope was lost,
She took another of her cubs and made him a young lion.

When she saw that she waited in vain,
that her hope was lost,
she took another of her cubs
and made him a young lion.

He roved among the lions,
And became a young lion;
He learned to catch prey;
He devoured men.

He prowled among the lions;
he became a young lion,
and he learned to catch prey;
he devoured men,

[a]He knew their desolate places,
And laid waste their cities;
The land with its fullness was desolated
By the noise of his roaring.

and seizeda their widows.
He laid waste their cities,
and the land was appalled and all who were in it
at the sound of his roaring.

Then the nations set against him from the provinces on every side,
And spread their net over him;
He was trapped in their pit.

Then the nations set against him
from provinces on every side;
they spread their net over him;
he was taken in their pit.

They put him in a cage with [b]chains,
And brought him to the king of Babylon;
They brought him in nets,
That his voice should no longer be heard on the mountains of Israel.

With hooks they put him in a cageb
and brought him to the king of Babylon;
they brought him into custody,
that his voice should no more be heard
on the mountains of Israel.

‘Your mother was like a vine in your [c]bloodline,
Planted by the waters,
Fruitful and full of branches
Because of many waters.

Your mother was like a vine in a vineyardc
planted by the water,
fruitful and full of branches
by reason of abundant water.

She had strong branches for scepters of rulers.
She towered in stature above the thick branches,
And was seen in her height amid the [d]dense foliage.

Its strong stems became
rulers’ scepters;
it towered aloft
among the thick boughs;d
it was seen in its height
with the mass of its branches.

But she was plucked up in fury,
She was cast down to the ground,
And the east wind dried her fruit.
Her strong branches were broken and withered;
The fire consumed them.

But the vine was plucked up in fury,
cast down to the ground;
the east wind dried up its fruit;
they were stripped off and withered.
As for its strong stem,
fire consumed it.

And now she is planted in the wilderness,
In a dry and thirsty land.

Now it is planted in the wilderness,
in a dry and thirsty land.

Fire has come out from a rod of her branches
And devoured her fruit,
So that she has no strong branch — a scepter for ruling.’ ”
This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.

And fire has gone out from the stem of its shoots,
has consumed its fruit,
so that there remains in it no strong stem,
no scepter for ruling.
This is a lamentation and has become a lamentation.
