A funeral song for Israel’s leaders
19 Yahweh said to me, “Ezekiel, sing a sad funeral songa which will be a parable abouttwo of the kings of Israel. 2 Say to the Israeli people,
‘It is as though [MET] your mother was a brave female lion
who raised her cubs among other lions.
3 She taught one of them to huntfor other animals to kill,
and he even learned tokill and eat people.
4 When people from other nations heard about him,
they trapped him in a pit.
Then they used hooks
to drag him to Egypt.
5 His mother waited for him to return,
but soon she stopped hoping/expecting that he would return.
So she raised another cub
who also became very fierce.
6 He hunted along with other lionsfor animals to kill,
and he even learned tokill and eat people.
7 He destroyed forts,
and he ruined cities.
When he roared loudly,
everyone was terrified.
8 So people of other nations planned to kill him,
and men came from many places
to spread out a net for him,
and they caught him in a trap.
9 They tied him with chains
and took him to Babylonia.
And there he was locked in a prison,
with the result that no one on the hills of Israel ever heard him roar again.’
Also, say to the Israeli people,
10 ‘It is as though [SIM] your mother was a grapevine
that was planted along a stream.
There was plenty of water,
so it had lots of branches and produced a lot of grapes.
11 That grapevine grew and became taller than all the nearby trees;
everyone could see that it was very strong and healthy.
And those branches were good for making scepters
that symbolize the power/authorityof a king.
12 ButYahweh became very angry,
so he pulled up the vine by its roots
and threw it on the ground,
where the very hot winds from the desert dried up all its fruit.
The strong branches wilted
and were burned in a fire.
13 Now that vine has been planted in a hot, dry desert.
14 A fire started to burn its stem,
and then started to burn the branches
and burned all the grapes.
Now not even one strong branch remains;
they will never become scepters for a king.’
That funeral song must be sung very sadly.”
