Ezekiel 19 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

‘[fn]What ^H4100 was your mother ^H517?

A lioness ^H3833 among ^H996 lions ^H738!

She lay ^H7257 down ^H7257 among ^H8432 young ^H3715 lions ^H3715,

She raised ^H7235 her cubs ^H1482.

‘When she brought ^H5927 up ^H5927 one ^H259 of her cubs ^H1482,

He became ^H1961 a young ^H3715 lion ^H3715,

And he learned ^H3925 to tear ^H2963 his prey ^H2964;

He devoured ^H398 people ^H120.

‘Then nations ^H1471 heard ^H8085 about ^H413 him;

He was caught ^H8610 in their trap ^H7845,

And they brought ^H935 him with hooks ^H2397

To the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714.

‘When she saw ^H7200, as she waited ^H3176,

That her hope ^H8615 was lost ^H6,

She took ^H3947 [fn]another ^H259 of her cubs ^H1482

And made ^H7760 him a young ^H3715 lion ^H3715.

‘And he walked ^H1980 about ^H1980 among ^H8432 the lions ^H738,

He became ^H1961 a young ^H3715 lion ^H3715;

He learned ^H3925 to tear ^H2963 his prey ^H2964;

He devoured ^H398 people ^H120.

‘He [fn]destroyed ^H7489 their [fn]palaces ^H759

And laid ^H2717 waste ^H2717 their cities ^H5892;

And the land ^H776 and its fullness ^H4393 were ^H8074 appalled ^H8074

Because ^H4480 of the sound ^H6963 of his roaring ^H7581.

‘Then nations ^H1471 set ^H5414 against ^H5921 him

On every ^H5439 side ^H5439 from their provinces ^H4082,

And they spread ^H6566 their net ^H7568 over ^H5921 him;

He was caught ^H8610 in their trap ^H7845.

‘They put ^H5414 him in a [fn]wooden ^H5474 collar ^H5474 with hooks ^H2397

And brought ^H935 him to the king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894;

They brought ^H935 him in hunting ^H4685 nets ^H4685

So ^H4616 that ^H4616 his voice ^H6963 would no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 be heard ^H8085

On the mountains ^H2022 of Israel ^H3478.

‘Your mother ^H517 was like a vine ^H1612 in your [fn]vineyard,

Planted ^H8362 by the waters ^H4325;

It was fruitful ^H6509 and thick ^H6058 with ^H6058 branches ^H6058

Because ^H4480 of abundant ^H7227 waters ^H4325.

‘And it had ^H1961 [fn]strong ^H5797 stems ^H4294 fit for scepters ^H7626 of rulers ^H4910,

And its height ^H6967 was raised ^H1361 above ^H5921 H996 the clouds ^H5645

So that it was seen ^H7200 in its height ^H1363 with the mass ^H7230 of its branches ^H1808.

‘But it was uprooted ^H5428 in fury ^H2534;

It was thrown ^H7993 down ^H7993 to the ground ^H776;

And the east ^H6921 wind ^H7307 dried ^H3001 up ^H3001 its fruit ^H6529.

[fn]Its strong ^H5797 stem ^H4294 [fn]was torn ^H6561 out ^H6561

So that [fn]it withered ^H3001;

The fire ^H784 consumed ^H398 it.

‘And now ^H6258 it is planted ^H8362 in the wilderness ^H4057,

In a dry ^H6723 and thirsty ^H6772 land ^H776.

‘And fire ^H784 has gone ^H3318 out ^H3318 from its stem ^H4294;

It has consumed ^H398 its shoots ^H909 and fruit ^H6529,

So that there is no ^H3808 [fn]strong ^H5797 stem ^H4294 in it,

A scepter ^H7626 to rule ^H4910.’”

This ^H1931 is a song ^H7015 of ^H7015 mourning ^H7015, and has become ^H1961 a song ^H7015 of ^H7015 mourning ^H7015.
