Yeh 19:1 Hai, ucapkanlah suatu ratapan mengenai raja Israel,
Yeh 19:2 dan katakanlah begini: "Betapa ibumu menjadi seekor singa betina di antara singa-singa! Ia berbaring di antara singa-singa muda, dan menyusui anak-anaknya.
Yeh 19:3 Ia membesarkan seekor dari anak-anaknya, sehingga menjadi singa muda; ia belajar menerkam, malah manusia ditelannya.
Yeh 19:4 Bangsa-bangsa menyerukan: Singa mengamuk! akhirnya ia terjebak dalam pelubang mereka; mereka mengelikir dia dan menggiringnya ke Mesir.
Yeh 19:5 Sesudah induk singa menyadari bahwa usahanya gagal dan pengharapannya hilang lenyap, ia mengambil anaknya yang lain dan membesarkannya menjadi singa muda.
Yeh 19:6 Anaknya ini berjalan-jalan di antara kawanan singa, ia menjadi seekor singa muda; ia belajar menerkam, malah manusia ditelannya.
Yeh 19:7 Ia merusak puri-puri mereka dan menumpas kota-kotanya; bumi serta segala isinya diam ketakutan mendengar suara aumnya.
Yeh 19:8 Maka bangsa-bangsa bangkit melawan dia dari daerah-daerah sekelilingnya, mereka memasang jaring untuk menangkapnya dan menjebaknya dalam pelubang.
Yeh 19:9 Ia dikurung dalam kandang, sambil dikelikir, dibawa ke hadapan raja Babel dan dimasukkan dalam penjara, supaya suaranya jangan kedengaran lagi di atas gunung-gunung Israel.
Yeh 19:10 Ibumu seperti pohon anggur dalam kebun anggur, yang tertanam dekat air, berbuah dan bercabang karena air yang berlimpah-limpah.
Yeh 19:11 Padanya tumbuh suatu cabang yang kuat yang menjadi tongkat kerajaan; ia menjulang tinggi di antara cabang-cabangnya yang rapat, dan menjadi kentara karena tingginya dan karena rantingnya yang banyak.
Yeh 19:12 Tetapi ia tercabut di dalam kemarahan dan dilemparkan ke bumi; angin timur membuatnya layu kering, buahnya disentakkan, cabang yang kuat menjadi layu kering; dan api menghabiskannya.
Yeh 19:13 Dan sekarang ia tertanam di padang gurun, di tanah yang kering dan haus akan air.
Yeh 19:14 Maka keluarlah api dari cabangnya yang memakan habis ranting dan buahnya, sehingga tiada lagi padanya cabang yang kuat dan tiada tongkat kerajaan." Ini adalah ratapan dan sudah menjadi ratapan.
Ezek 19:1 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
Ezek 19:2 And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
Ezek 19:3 And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
Ezek 19:4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
Ezek 19:5 Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.
Ezek 19:6 And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.
Ezek 19:7 And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring.
Ezek 19:8 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
Ezek 19:9 And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
Ezek 19:10 Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
Ezek 19:11 And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.
Ezek 19:12 But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.
Ezek 19:13 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
Ezek 19:14 And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
