God's New Revelations

The Prophet Ezekiel

Literal Standard Version 2020

- Chapter 19 -

1
And you, lift up a lamentation to princes of Israel,
2
and you have said: What [is] your mother? A lioness, || She has crouched down among lions, || She has multiplied her whelps in the midst of young lions.
3
And she brings up one of her whelps, || He has been a young lion, || And he learns to tear prey, || He has devoured man.
4
And nations hear of him, || He has been caught in their pit, || And they bring him to the land of Egypt in chains.
5
And as she waited she sees that her hope has perished, || And she takes one of her whelps, || She has made him a young lion.
6
And he goes up and down in the midst of lions, || He has been a young lion, || And he learns to tear prey, || He has devoured man.
7
And he knows his forsaken habitations, || And he has laid waste [to] their cities, || And the land and its fullness is desolate, || Because of the voice of his roaring.
8
And surrounding nations set against him from the provinces. And they spread out their net for him, || He has been caught in their pit.
9
And they put him in prison—in chains, || And they bring him to the king of Babylon, || They bring him into bulwarks, || So that his voice is not heard || On mountains of Israel anymore.
10
Your mother, like the vine in your blood, || Is being planted by waters, || She was bearing fruit and full of boughs, || Because of many waters.
11
And she has strong rods for scepters of rulers, || And she is high in stature abovebetween thick branches, || And it appears in its height || In the multitude of its thin shoots.
12
And she is plucked up in fury, || She has been cast to the earth, || And the east wind has dried up her fruit, || [The] rod of her strength has been broken and withered, || Fire has consumed it.
13
And now she is planted in a wilderness, || In a dry and thirsty land.
14
And fire goes forth from a rod of her boughs, || It has devoured her fruit, || And she has no rod of strengtha scepter to rule, || A lamentationand she has become for a lamentation!”
