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.

Lions: Joakim. (Challoner) --- He reigned eleven years; but was such a monster, that the prophet does not speak of him or bewail his fate, 4 Kings 23:34., and Jeremias 22:19. His words are applicable to Jechonias alone; who was cruel, and banished to Babylon, ver. 8. (Calmet)
