1 God told Ezekiel to sing a sad song for the leaders of Israel. 2 Ezekiel said: Your mom is like a mom lion. She lived with lions and raised her cubs. 3 The mom lion raised one cub. He grew big and strong. He hurt people. ➡️ 4 Other groups heard about the cub. They set a trap and a net, caught him with chains, and took him to Egypt. ️⛓️➡️ 5 The mom lion waited. Her hope was gone. She raised another cub to be strong. ➡️ 6 The second cub walked with lions. He learned to catch things. He hurt people too. ➡️♂️ 7 He broke homes and towns. The land was empty. His loud roar scared all. ️❌ 8 Many groups came to fight him. They set their net and trap and caught him. ️️️ 9 They put chains on him and put him in a cage. They took him to the king of Babylon. His roar was not heard in Israel again. ⛓️➡️ 10 Your mom was like a grape vine by water. She grew big and strong with many branches for leaders. 11 Her strong sticks were like king sticks. She grew tall and could be seen high up. ⬆️ 12 But the vine was pulled up in anger, thrown down, dried by a hot wind, and fire burned her strong sticks. ️ 13 Now the vine is in a desert, in dry ground with no water. ️ 14 Fire came from one branch and burned the fruit. No strong stick is left for a king. This is a sad song. It will stay a sad song.
