에스겔 19

1“Now you, take up a lamentation against the leaders of Israel 2and say, 3She is the one who raised up one of her cubs to become a young lion, a lion who learned to tear apart his victims, and then he devoured men. 4Then the nations heard about him. He was caught in their trap, and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt. 5Then she saw that although she had waited for his return, her expectation was now gone, so she took another of her cubs and raised him to become a young lion. 6This young lion roamed about in the midst of lions. He was a young lion and learned to tear his victims; he devoured men. 7He seized their widows and ruined their cities. Instead of He seized their widows , some ancient copies and many modern versions have He destroyed their fortresses . 8But the nations came against him from the surrounding provinces; 9With hooks they put him in a cage and then they brought him to the king of Babylon. 10Your mother was like a vine planted in your blood beside the water. Instead of in your blood , some ancient copies and many modern versions have in your vineyard . 11It had strong branches that were used for rulers' scepters, 12But the vine was uprooted in fury and thrown down to the earth, and an eastern wind dried out its fruit. 13So now it is planted in the wilderness, in a land of drought and thirst.
