1 The Lord told me to sing this song of sorrow for two princes of Israel:
2 What a lioness your mother was!She raised her cubs among the fierce male lions.
3 She raised a cub and taught him to hunt;he learned to eat people.
4 The nations heard about himand trapped him in a pit.With hooks they dragged him off to Egypt.
5 She waited until she saw all hope was gone.Then she raised another of her cubs,and he grew into a fierce lion.
