Ezekiel 19

1 A lamentation for the princes of Israel, under the parable of lions' whelps taken in a pit, 10 and for Jerusalem, under the parable of a wasted vine.

 19:1 “As for you, take 5375 up a lamentation 7015 for the princes 5387a of Israel 3478

 19:2 and say 559, ‘What 4100 was your mother 517? A lioness 3833b among 996 lions 738! She lay 7257 down 7257 among 8432 young 3715 lions 3715, She reared 7235a her cubs 1482.

 19:3 ‘When she brought 5927 up one 259 of her cubs 1482, He became 1961 a lion 3715, And he learned 3925 to tear 2963 [his] prey 2964; He devoured 398 men 120.

 19:4 ‘Then nations 1471 heard 8085 about 413 him; He was captured 8610 in their pit 7845, And they brought 935 him with hooks 2397 To the land 776 of Egypt 4714.

 19:5 ‘When she saw 7200, as she waited 3176, [That] her hope 8615b was lost 6, She took 3947 another 259 of her cubs 1482 And made 7760 him a young 3715 lion 3715.

 19:6 ‘And he walked 1980 about among 8432 the lions 738; He became 1961 a young 3715 lion 3715, He learned 3925 to tear 2963 [his] prey 2964; He devoured 398 men 120.

 19:7 ‘He destroyed 7489b their fortified 490 towers 759 And laid 2717b waste 2717b their cities 5892b; And the land 776 and its fullness 4393 were appalled 3456 Because 4480 of the sound 6963 of his roaring 7581.

 19:8 ‘Then nations 1471 set 5414 against 5921 him On every 5439 side 5439 from [their] provinces 4082, And they spread 6566 their net 7568 over 5921 him; He was captured 8610 in their pit 7845.

 19:9 ‘They put 5414 him in a cage 5474 with hooks 2397 And brought 935 him to the king 4428 of Babylon 894; They brought 935 him in hunting 4685c nets 4685c So 4616 that his voice 6963 would be heard 8085 no 3808 more 5750 On the mountains 2022 of Israel 3478.

 19:10 ‘Your mother 517 was like a vine 1612 in your vineyard, Planted 8362 by the waters 4325; It was fruitful 6509 and full 6058 of branches 6058 Because 4480 of abundant 7227a waters 4325.

 19:11 ‘And it had 1961 strong 5797 branches 4294 [fit] for scepters 7626 of rulers 4910, And its height 6967 was raised 1361b above 5921 996 the clouds 5688 So that it was seen 7200 in its height 1363 with the mass 7230 of its branches 1808.

 19:12 ‘But it was plucked 5428 up in fury 2534; It was cast 7993 down 7993 to the ground 776; And the east 6921 wind 7307 dried 3001 up its fruit 6529. Its strong 5797 branch 4294 was torn 6561 off 6561 So that it withered 3001; The fire 784 consumed 398 it.

 19:13 ‘And now 6258 it is planted 8362 in the wilderness 4057b, In a dry 6723 and thirsty 6772 land 776.

 19:14 ‘And fire 784 has gone 3318 out from [its] branch 4294; It has consumed 398 its shoots 909 [and] fruit 6529, So that there is not in it a strong 5797 branch 4294, A scepter 7626 to rule 4910.’” This 1931 is a lamentation 7015, and has become 1961 a lamentation 7015.
