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.
9 With hooks they put him in a cageand brought him to the king of Babylon.They put him in prisonso that his roar wouldn’t be heard anymoreon the mountains of Israel.
