Ezekiel 19 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

Eze 19:1And thou, take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
Eze 19:2and say, What was thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps in the midst of the young lions.
Eze 19:3And she brought up one of her whelps; it became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.
Eze 19:4And the nations heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with nose-rings into the land of Egypt.
Eze 19:5And when she saw that she had waited and her hope was lost, she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.
Eze 19:6And he went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.
Eze 19:7And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities, so that the land was desolate, and all it contained, by the noise of his roaring.
Eze 19:8Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit.
Eze 19:9And they put him in a cage with nose-rings, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into strongholds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
Eze 19:10Thy mother was as a vine, in thy rest, planted by the waters: it was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
Eze 19:11And it had strong rods for sceptres of them that bear rule, and its stature was exalted between the thick boughs; and it was conspicuous by its height with the multitude of its branches.
Eze 19:12But it was plucked up in fury, it was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit; its strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.
Eze 19:13And now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground:
Eze 19:14and a fire is gone out of a rod of its branches, which hath devoured its fruit; so that it hath no strong rod to be a sceptre for ruling. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
