1 # Moreover take thou up <05375> (8798) a lamentation <07015> for the princes <05387> of Israel <03478>,
2 And say <0559> (8804), What is thy mother <0517>? A lioness <03833>: she lay down <07257> (8804) among lions <0738>, she nourished <07235> (8765) her whelps <01482> among <08432> young lions <03715>.
3 And she brought up <05927> (8686) one <0259> of her whelps <01482>: it became a young lion <03715>, and it learned <03925> (8799) to catch <02963> (8800) the prey <02964>; it devoured <0398> (8804) men <0120>.
4 The nations <01471> also heard <08085> (8799) of him; he was taken <08610> (8738) in their pit <07845> , and they brought <0935> (8686) him with chains <02397> unto the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.
5 Now when she saw <07200> (8799) that she had waited <03176> (8738), and her hope <08615> was lost <06> (8804), then she took <03947> (8799) another <0259> of her whelps <01482>, and made <07760> (8804) him a young lion <03715>.
6 And he went up and down <01980> (8691) among <08432> the lions <0738>, he became a young lion <03715>, and learned <03925> (8799) to catch <02963> (8800) the prey <02964>, and devoured <0398> (8804) men <0120> .
7 And he knew <03045> (8799) their desolate palaces <0490>, and he laid waste <02717> (8689) their cities <05892>; and the land <0776> was desolate <03456> (8799), and the fulness <04393> thereof, by the noise <06963> of his roaring <07581>.
8 Then the nations <01471> set <05414> (8799) against him on every side <05439> from the provinces <04082>, and spread <06566> (8799) their net <07568> over him: he was taken <08610> (8738) in their pit <07845>.
9 And they put <05414> (8799) him in ward <05474> in chains <02397>, and brought <0935> (8686) him to the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>: they brought <0935> (8686) him into holds <04685>, that his voice <06963> should no more be heard <08085> (8735) upon the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>.
10 # Thy mother <0517> is like a vine <01612> in thy blood <01818> (8676) <01818>, planted <08362> (8803) by the waters <04325>: she was fruitful <06509> (8802) and full of branches <06058> by reason of many <07227> waters <04325>.
11 And she had strong <05797> rods <04294> for the sceptres <07626> of them that bare rule <04910> (8802), and her stature <06967> was exalted <01361> (8799) among the thick branches <05688>, and she appeared <07200> (8735) in her height <01363> with the multitude <07230> of her branches <01808>.
12 But she was plucked up <05428> (8714) in fury <02534>, she was cast down <07993> (8717) to the ground <0776>, and the east <06921> wind <07307> dried up <03001> (8689) her fruit <06529>: her strong <05797> rods <04294> were broken <06561> (8694) and withered <03001> (8804); the fire <0784> consumed <0398> (8804) them.
13 And now she is planted <08362> (8803) in the wilderness <04057>, in a dry <06723> and thirsty <06772> ground <0776>.
14 And fire <0784> is gone out <03318> (8799) of a rod <04294> of her branches <0905>, which hath devoured <0398> (8804) her fruit <06529>, so that she hath no strong <05797> rod <04294> to be a sceptre <07626> to rule <04910> (8800). This is a lamentation <07015>, and shall be for a lamentation <07015>.
