2 Say:What a lioness among lionesses was your mother!She bedded down among the strong young lions and reared her cubs.
3 She singled out one of her cubs and he became a strong young lion;he learned to tear flesh and devour humans.
4 When the nations heard about him, they caught him in their trapand carried him with hooks to the land of Egypt.
5 When she realized that she waited in vain, her hope faded.So she took another of her cubs and set him up as a strong young lion.
6 He went on the prowl with the other lions and became a strong young lion.He learned to tear flesh and devour humans;
7 he ravaged their widows and laid waste to their cities.When the earth and everything in it became horrified by the sound of his raging,
8 the nations from the surrounding regions allied against him.They cast their nets over him and caught him in their trap.
