Douay Bible - Ezekiel Chapter 19

Ezekiel 19:1
Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

Ezekiel 19:2
And say: Why did thy mother the lioness lie down among the lions, and bring up her whelps in the midst of young lions?

Ezekiel 19:3
And she brought out one of her whelps, and he became a lion: and he learned to catch the prey, and to devour men.

Ezekiel 19:4
And the nations heard of him, and took him, but not without receiving wounds: and they brought him in chains into the land of Egypt.

Ezekiel 19:5
But she seeing herself weakened, and that her hope was lost, took one of her young lions, and set him up for a lion.

Ezekiel 19:6
And he went up and down among the lions, and became a lion: and he learned to catch the prey, and to devour men.

Ezekiel 19:7
He learned to make widows, and to lay waste their cities: and the land became desolate, and the fulness thereof by the noise of his roaring.

Ezekiel 19:8
And the nations Game together against him on every side out of the provinces, and they spread their net over him, in their wounds he was taken.

Ezekiel 19:9
And they put him into a cage, they brought him in chains to the king of Babylon: and they cast him into prison, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.

Ezekiel 19:10
Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood planted by the water: her fruit and her branches have grown out of many waters.

Ezekiel 19:11
And she hath strong rods to make sceptres for them that bear rule, and her stature was exalted among the branches: and she saw her height in the multitude of her branches.

Ezekiel 19:12
But she was plucked up in wrath, and cast on the ground, and the burning wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods are withered, and dried up: the fire hath devoured her.

Ezekiel 19:13
And now she is transplanted into the desert, in a land not passable, and dry.

Ezekiel 19:14
And a fire is gone out from a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit: so that she now hath no strong rod, to be a sceptre of rulers. This is a lamentation, and it shall be for a lamentation.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
