And ahe became a young lion;
He learned to catch prey,
And he devoured men.
He was trapped in their pit,
And they brought him with chains to the land of aEgypt.
She took aanother of her cubs and made him a young lion.
And laid waste their cities;
The land with its fullness was desolated
By the noise of his roaring.
And spread their net over him;
bHe was trapped in their pit.
And brought him to the king of Babylon;
They brought him in nets,
That his voice should no longer be heard on bthe mountains of Israel.
Planted by the waters,
bFruitful and full of branches
Because of many waters.
aShe towered in stature above the thick branches,
And was seen in her height amid the1 dense foliage.
