Ezekiel 19

19 Yahweh said to me, “Lament over the ruling officials of Israel. 2 Say this to the Israelite people:

‘Imagine—your mother was such a lioness;

she lay herself among male lions

and bore more and more cubs surrounded by young, virile lions.

3 She reared one of her cubs until he was a virile lion,

teaching him to hunt and kill wild animals;

he even learned to kill and eat people!

4 When people from other nations learned about him,

they captured him in a pit.

They put hooks on him

and dragged him away to Egypt.

5 The young lion’s mother waited for him to return,

but she was utterly disappointed when he never came back.

So she reared another one of her cubs,

and made him into another virile lion.

6 He prowled among the other lions,

and he too became a virile lion.

He learned to hunt and kill wild animals,

and he even killed and ate people!

7 He consorted with his widows,

and he razed cities into ruins.

When he roared,

everyone who lived in the land ran away.

8 But then people from the surrounding nations

arrayed themselves against from every province.

They spread their net over him;

they trapped him in a pit.

9 They shut him in a cage,

They put hooks on him

and dragged him away to the king of Babylon.

They locked him in a prison

so that the people on the mountains of Israel

would never again hear him roar.

10 Imagine—your mother was like a flourishing, verdant vine

that somebody planted beside flowing water.

Because there was plenty of water,

she had many canes and produced many grapes.

11 It had strong, woody branches,

suitable to become a ruler’s scepter.

It towered high overhead,

into the very clouds,

and people could see how tall it was

and how full it had become.

12 However, Yahweh became so angry that he pulled the vine up by its roots

and flung it down to the ground.

A hot east wind dried up its fruit,

The vine’s strong branches broke off;

they dried up,

and a fire burned them up.

13 Now, Yahweh has transplanted that vine—your mother—

in a desert, in a dry and arid region.

14 A fire has spread out from the stem of its shoot,

which has burned up all its fruit.

So now, no strong branch remains on it—

no branch that could become a ruler’s scepter.’

This is a lament, and people will indeed sing it to grieve for the Israelite people.”
