The verses around it, from Ezekiel 19.
2 and say: ‘What was your mother? A lioness among the lions! She lay down among the young lions; she reared her cubs.
3 She brought up one of her cubs, and he became a young lion. After learning to tear his prey, he devoured men.
4 When the nations heard of him, he was trapped in their pit. With hooks they led him away to the land of Egypt.
5 When she saw that she had waited in vain, that her hope was lost, she took another of her cubs and made him a young lion.
6 He prowled among the lions, and became a young lion. After learning to tear his prey, he devoured men.
7 He broke down their strongholds and devastated their cities. The land and everything in it shuddered at the sound of his roaring.
8 Then the nations set out against him from the provinces on every side. They spread their net over him; he was trapped in their pit.
9 With hooks they caged him and brought him to the king of Babylon. They brought him into captivity so that his roar was heard no longer on the mountains of Israel.
10 Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard, planted by the water; it was fruitful and full of branches because of the abundant waters.
