The lamentation of the lioness and her cubs, to be taken up for the princes of Israel
이스라엘 방백들을 위하여 지으라는 암사자와 그 새끼의 애가
Ezekiel 19:1–9: the text says, “Moreover, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, and say, ‘What was your mother? A lioness. She couched among lions, in the middle of the young lions she nourished her cubs. She brought up one of her cubs. He became a young lion. He learned to catch the prey. He devoured men. The nations also heard of him. He was taken in their pit; and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt. Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her cubs, and made him a young lion. He went up and down among the lions. He became a young lion. He learned to catch the prey. He devoured men. He knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities. The land was desolate with its fullness, because of the noise of his roaring. Then the nations attacked him on every side from the provinces. They spread their net over him. He was taken in their pit. They put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon. They brought him into strongholds, so that his voice should no more be heard on the mountains of Israel.’” No verse of 19:1–9 names who speaks these words or who is told to take up the lamentation, and neither edition closes the lamentation at the end of 19:9. The Korean Revised Version reads 그의 궁실들을 헐고 (tore down his palaces) at 19:7, where WEB reads “He knew their palaces”.
