Ezekiel 19:2-8

and say, ‘What was your mother [Jerusalem and Judah]? A lioness among lions! She lay down among young lions, She reared her cubs. ‘When she [the royal mother-city] brought up [Jehoahaz] one of her cubs, He became a [young] lion, And he learned to catch and tear the prey; He devoured men. [2 Kin 23:30, 32] ‘The nations heard about him; He was captured in their pit, And they brought him with hooks To the land of Egypt. [2 Chr 36:1, 4] ‘When she saw, as she waited, That her hope was lost, She took another of her cubs And made him a young lion. [2 Kin 23:34; 24:1, 6] ‘And he moved among the lions; He became a young lion, He learned to tear the prey; He devoured men. ‘He destroyed their palaces And he flattened their cities; And the land and all who were in it were appalled By the sound of his roaring. ‘Then the nations set against him (the king) On every side from the provinces, And they spread their net over him; He was captured in their pit. [2 Kin 24:8-15]
