NASB — Ezekiel 19 — KJV

Lament for the Princes of Israel

1 “As for you, take° up a alamentation° for the bprinces° of Israel° 2 and say°,
  ‘IWhat° was your mother°?
  A lioness° among° lions°!
  She lay° down° among° young° lions°,
  She reared° her cubs°.
  3 ‘When she brought° up one° of her cubs°,
  He became° a lion°,
  And he learned° to tear° [his] prey°;
  He devoured° men°.
  4 ‘Then nations° heard° about° him;
  He was captured° in their pit°,
  And they abrought° him with hooks°
  To the land° of Egypt°.
  5 ‘When she saw°, as she waited°,
  [That] her hope° was lost°,
  She took° Ianother° of her cubs°
  And made° him a young° lion°.
  6 ‘And he awalked° about among° the lions°;
  He became° a young° lion°,
  He learned° to tear° [his] prey°;
  He devoured° men°.
  7 ‘He Idestroyed° their IIfortified° towers°
  And laid° waste° their cities°;
  And the land° and its fullness° were appalled°
  Because° of the sound° of his roaring°.
  8 ‘Then anations° set° against° him
  On every° side° from [their] provinces°,
  And they spread° their net° over° him;
  He was captured° in their pit°.
  9aThey put° him in a cage° with hooks°
  And bbrought° him to the king° of Babylon°;
  They brought° him in hunting° nets°
  So° that his voice° would be heard° no° more°
  On the mountains° of Israel°.
  10 ‘Your mother° was alike a vine° in your Ivineyard,
  Planted° by the waters°;
  It was fruitful° and full° of branches°
  Because° of abundant° waters°.
  11 ‘And it had° Iastrong° branches° [fit] for scepters° of rulers°,
  And its bheight° was raised° above°° the clouds°
  So that it was seen° in its height° with the mass° of its branches°.
  12 ‘But it was aplucked° up in fury°;
  It was bcast° down° to the ground°;
  And the ceast° wind° dried° up its fruit°.
  Its Idstrong° branch° IIwas torn° off°
  So that IIIit withered°;
  The fire° consumed° it.
  13 ‘And now° it is planted° in the awilderness°,
  In a dry° and thirsty° land°.
  14 ‘And afire° has gone° out from [its] branch°;
  It has consumed° its shoots° [and] fruit°,
  So that there is not in it a Istrong° branch°,
  A scepter° to rule°.’”
This° is a lamentation°, and has become° a lamentation°.

A lamentation for the princes of Israel, under the parable of lions' whelps taken in a pit,

1 ¶ Moreover take thou upºª² a lamentationº for² the princesº of Israel,º 2 And say,ºª What² [is] thy mother?º A lioness:º she lay downºª among² lions,º she nourishedºª her whelpsº amongº young lions.º 3 And she brought upºª oneº of her whelps:º² it became² a young lion,º and it learnedºª to catchºª the prey;º it devouredºª men.º 4 The nationsº also heardºª of² him; he was takenºª in their pit,º and they broughtºª him with chainsº unto² the landº of Egypt.º 5 Now when she sawºª that² she had waited,ºª [and] her hopeº was lost,ºª then she tookºª anotherº of her whelps,º² [and] madeºª him a young lion.º 6 And he went up and downºª amongº the lions,º he became² a young lion,º and learnedºª to catchºª the prey,º [and] devouredºª men.º 7 And he knewºª their desolate palaces,¹² and he laid wasteºª their cities;º and the landº was desolate,ºª and the fulnessº thereof, by the noiseº² of his roaring.º 8 Then the nationsº setºª against² him on every sideº from the provinces,º² and spreadºª their netº over² him: he was takenºª in their pit.º 9 And they putºª him in wardº in chains,º and broughtºª him to² the kingº of Babylon:º they broughtºª him into holds,¹² that² his voiceº should no² more² be heardºª upon² the mountainsº of Israel.º

and for Jerusalem, under the parable of a wasted vine.

10 ¶ Thy motherº [is] like a vineº in thy blood,ºª plantedºª by² the waters:º she was² fruitfulºª and full of branchesº by reason of manyº waters.º² 11 And she had² strongº rodsº for² the sceptresº of them that bare rule,ºª and her statureº was exaltedºª among²² the thick branches,º and she appearedºª in her heightº with the multitudeº of her branches.º 12 But she was plucked upºª in fury,º she was cast downºª to the ground,º and the eastº windº dried upºª her fruit:º her strongº rodsº were brokenºª and withered;ºª the fireº consumedºª them. 13 And now² she [is] plantedºª in the wilderness,º in a dryº and thirstyº ground.º 14 And fireº is gone outºª of a rodº² of her branches,º [which] hath devouredºª her fruit,º so that she hath² no² strongº rodº [to be] a sceptreº to rule.ºª This² [is] a lamentation,º and shall be² for a lamentation.º
