Ezekiel 19:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ When she saw that she was thwarted,
    that her hope was lost,
she took another of her cubs
    and made him a young lion.
⁶ He prowled among the lions;
    he became a young lion,
and he learned to catch prey;
    he devoured people.
⁷ And he ravaged their strongholds,^[a]
    and laid waste their towns;
the land was appalled, and all in it,
    at the sound of his roaring.
