English Standard Version - Ezekiel 19 (ESV)

Ezekiel Chapter 19 (ESV)

Compare with Version:

¹ And you,ⓐ take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

² and say: What was your mother?ⓑ A lioness! Among lions she crouched; in the midst of young lions she reared her cubs.

³ And she brought up one of her cubs; ⓒhe became a young lion, ⓓand he learned to catch prey; he devoured men.

⁴ The nations heard about him; ⓔhe was caught in their pit, ⓕand they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.

⁵ 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.

⁶ He prowled among the lions; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch prey; he devoured men,

⁷ and seized[1] their widows. He laid waste their cities, and the land was appalled and all who were in it at the sound of his roaring.

⁸ ⓗ Then the nations set against him from provinces on every side; ⓘthey spread their net over him; ⓙhe was taken in their pit.

⁹ With hooksⓚ they put him in a cage[2] 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.

¹⁰ Your mother wasⓝ like a vine in a vineyard[3] planted by the water, ⓞfruitful and full of branches ⓟby reason of abundant water.

¹¹ Its strong stems became rulers' scepters; it towered aloft among the thick boughs;[4] it was seen in its height with the mass of its branches.

¹² 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.

¹³ ⓡ Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.

¹⁴ ⓢ 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.
