Ezekiel Chapter 19 (NKJV Bible)

Compare with Version:

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

² and say: ‘What is your mother? A lioness: She lay down among the lions; Among the young lions she nourished her cubs.

³ She brought up one of her cubs, And [2†]he became a young lion; He learned to catch prey, And he devoured men.

⁴ The nations also heard of him; He was trapped in their pit, And they brought him with chains to the land of [3†]Egypt.

⁵ ‘When she saw that she waited, that her hope was lost, She took [4†]another of her cubs and made him a young lion.

⁶ [5†]He roved among the lions, And [6†]became a young lion; He learned to catch prey; He devoured men.

⁷ He knew their desolate places, And laid waste their cities; The land with its fullness was desolated By the noise of his roaring.

⁸ [7†]Then the nations set against him from the provinces on every side, And spread their net over him; [8†]He was trapped in their pit.

⁹ [9†]They put him in a cage with chains, And brought him to the king of Babylon; They brought him in nets, That his voice should no longer be heard on [10†]the mountains of Israel.

¹⁰ ‘Your mother was [11†]like a vine in your bloodline, Planted by the waters, [12†]Fruitful and full of branches Because of many waters.

¹¹ She had strong branches for scepters of rulers. [13†]She towered in stature above the thick branches, And was seen in her height amid the dense foliage.

¹² But she was [14†]plucked up in fury, She was cast down to the ground, And the [15†]east wind dried her fruit. Her strong branches were broken and withered; The fire consumed them.

¹³ And now she is planted in the wilderness, In a dry and thirsty land.

¹⁴ [16†]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.’ ” [17†]This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.
