Ezekiel 19:1-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

19 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

² And say: Why did thy mother the lioness lie down among the lions, and bring up her whelps in the midst of young lions?

³ And she brought out one of her whelps, and he became a lion: and he learned to catch the prey, and to devour men.

⁴ And the nations heard of him, and took him, but not without receiving wounds: and they brought him in chains into the land of Egypt.
