26_EZE_19_01 moreover take thou up A lamentation for the princes of Israel ,
26_EZE_19_02 And say , what [ Is ] thy mother ? A lioness : she lay down among lions , she nourished her whelps among young lions .
26_EZE_19_03 And she brought up one of her whelps : it became A young lion , And it learned to catch the prey ; it devoured men .
26_EZE_19_04 the nations also heard of him ; he was taken in their pit , And they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt .
26_EZE_19_05 now when she saw that she had waited , [ And ] her hope was lost , Then she took another of her whelps , [ And ] made him A young lion .
26_EZE_19_06 And he went up And down among the lions , he became A young lion , And learned to catch the prey , [ And ] devoured men .
26_EZE_19_07 And he knew their desolate palaces , And he laid waste their cities ; And the land was desolate , And the fulness thereof , by the noise of his roaring .
26_EZE_19_08 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces , And spread their net over him : he was taken in their pit .
26_EZE_19_09 And they put him in ward in chains , And brought him to the king of Babylon : they brought him into holds , that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel .
26_EZE_19_10 thy mother [ Is ] like A vine in thy blood , planted by the waters : she was fruitful And full of branches by reason of Many waters .
26_EZE_19_11 And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule , And her stature was exalted among the thick branches , And she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches .
26_EZE_19_12 but she was plucked up in fury , she was cast down to the ground , And the east wind dried up her fruit : her strong rods were broken And withered ; the fire consumed them .
26_EZE_19_13 And now she [ Is ] planted in the wilderness , in A dry And thirsty ground .
26_EZE_19_14 And fire Is gone out of A rod of her branches , [ which ] hath devoured her fruit , So that she hath no strong rod [ to be ] A sceptre to rule . this [ Is ] A lamentation , And shall be for A lamentation .
