Esekiel 19,2

1 "Løft en klagesang for Israels fyrster

og si: 'Hvor lik en løvinne var din mor blant løvene! Hun la seg blant de unge løvene og fostret sine unger.

3 Hun oppdro en av sine unger, og han ble en ung løve. Han lærte å rive i stykker bytte og fortærte mennesker.

4 Folkene hørte om ham, og han ble fanget i deres felle. De førte ham bort med kroker til Egyptens land.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
