1 Ezekiel, sing a funeral song for two of Israel's leaders:
2 Your mother was a brave lionesswho raised her cubsamong lions.
3 She taught one of them to hunt,and he learnt to eat people.
4 When the nations heard of him,they trapped him in a pit,then they used hooksto drag him to Egypt.
5 His mother waitedfor him to return.But soon she lost all hopeand raised another cub,who also became fierce.
