2 Say:Your mother was like a lioness.She lay down among the lions.She fed many cubs.
3 One of the cubs she raised became a young lion.He learned to tear apart the animals he hunted.He ate people.
4 The nations heard about him,caught him in their pit,and brought him with hooks to Egypt.
5 The lioness waited until she saw that there was no more hope.Then she took another one of her cubsand raised him into a young lion.
6 He became a young lion, and he prowled among the lions.He learned to tear apart the animals he hunted.He ate people.
7 He destroyed fortressesand turned cities into wastelands.The land and everyone living in itwere terrified by the sound of his roar.
8 The nations from every region came together against him.They spread their net over himand caught him in their pit.
