← Ezekiel 19:5	Ezekiel 19:6 (KJV)	Ezekiel 19:7 →
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.	And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, [and] devoured men.	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.
