Israel Degraded
1 “Moreover atake up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2 and say:
‘What is your mother? A lioness:
She lay down among the lions;
Among the young lions she nourished her cubs.
‘What is your mother? A lioness:
She lay down among the lions;
Among the young lions she nourished her cubs.
3 She brought up one of her cubs,
And ahe became a young lion;
He learned to catch prey,
And he devoured men.
And ahe became a young lion;
He learned to catch prey,
And he devoured men.
4 The nations also heard of him;
He was trapped in their pit,
And they brought him with chains to the land of aEgypt.
He was trapped in their pit,
And they brought him with chains to the land of aEgypt.
5 ‘When she saw that she waited, that her hope was lost,
She took aanother of her cubs and made him a young lion.
She took aanother of her cubs and made him a young lion.
