Ezekiel 19
KJV + Strong's

Kingly Power Abused

1Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

2And say, What [is] thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.



5Now when she saw that she had waited, [and] her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, [and] made him a young lion.

6And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, [and] devoured men.




10Thy mother [is] like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.



13And now she [is] planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.

14And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, [which] hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod [to be] a sceptre to rule. This [is] a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
