19 “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.
And bhe 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 cEgypt.
She took danother of her cubs and made him a young lion.
6 eHe roved among the lions,
And fbecame 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.
8 gThen the nations set against him from the provinces on every side,
And spread their net over him;
hHe was trapped in their pit.
