Ezekiel 19:3

“She brought up one of her cubs: he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.”

Verse in context — Ezekiel 19

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

and say, What was your mother? A lioness: she couched among lions, in the midst of the young lions she nourished her cubs.

She brought up one of her cubs: he became a young lion, and 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.
