1
And thou, take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2
and say, What was thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps in the midst of the young lions.
3
And she brought up one of her whelps; it became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.
4
And the nations heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with nose-rings into the land of Egypt.
5
And when she saw that she had waited [and] her hope was lost, she took another of her whelps, [and] made him a young lion.
6
And he went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.
