3 She brought up one of her cubs,
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. ‡

6 ^aHe roved among the lions,
And ^bbecame a young lion;
He learned to catch prey;
He devoured men. ‡

7 ¹He knew their desolate places,
And laid waste their cities;
The land with its fullness was desolated
By the noise of his roaring. ‡
