Ezekiel 19:4-9 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

4. The nations heard about himand trapped him in a pit.With hooks they dragged him off to Egypt.

5. She waited until she saw all hope was gone.Then she reared another of her cubs,and he grew into a fierce lion.

6. When he was full-grown,he prowled with the other lions.He too learnt to hunt and eat people.

7. He wrecked forts, he ruined towns.The people of the land were terrifiedevery time he roared.

8. The nations gathered to fight him;people came from everywhere.They spread their hunting netsand caught him in their trap.

9. They put him in a cageand took him to the king of Babylonia.They kept him under guard,so that his roar would never be heard againon the hills of Israel.
