Ezekiel 19:5

A Lament for the Princes of Israel

4When the nations heard of him, he was trapped in their pit. With hooks they led him away to the land of Egypt. 5When 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. 6He prowled among the lions, and became a young lion. After learning to tear his prey, he devoured men.
