Ezekiel 19:9
And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel. And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
The lament preserves the capture and forced removal of a ruler who was put in ward under restraint. He was bound in chains and conducted to the monarch of Babylon. He was then confined in strongholds of detention. The purpose of that imprisonment was to silence his voice so that it would be heard no more upon the mountains of Israel. As a portion of Ezekiel's prophetic utterance, this account stands alongside other prophetic words given for the admonition and learning of those who would come afterward.
