Ezekiel 19:2

1 “As for you, take up a lament for the princes of Israel

and say: ‘What was your mother? A lioness among the lions! She lay down among the young lions; she reared her cubs.

3 She brought up one of her cubs, and he became a young lion. After learning to tear his prey, he devoured men.

4 When the nations heard of him, he was trapped in their pit. With hooks they led him away to the land of Egypt.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
