²³ És lõn az Úr beszéde hozzám, mondván:

¹⁹ És ti ezt mondjátok: Miért ne viselje a fiú az apa vétkét? Ám a fiú, törvény szerint és igazságot cselekedett, minden parancsolatimat megtartotta s cselekedte azokat: élvén éljen.

² and say, What was your mother? A lioness: she couched among lions, in the midst of the young lions she nourished her cubs.

³ She brought up one of her cubs: he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.

⁴ The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit; and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.

⁵ 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.

⁶ He went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.

⁷ He knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and its fullness, because of the noise of his roaring.

⁸ Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces; and they spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit.

⁹ They put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into strongholds, that his voice should no more be heard on the mountains of Israel.
