Israel Degraded
‘What is your mother? A lioness:
She lay down among the lions;
Among the young lions she nourished her cubs.
And ahe became a young lion;
He learned to catch prey,
And he devoured men.
He was trapped in their pit,
And they brought him with chains to the land of aEgypt.
She took aanother of her cubs and made him a young lion.
And laid waste their cities;
The land with its fullness was desolated
By the noise of his roaring.
And spread their net over him;
bHe was trapped in their pit.
| << Ezekiel 19:2 | Ezekiel 19:4 >> |
