1 “Sing a funeral song for the leaders of Israel.
2 Say:‘Your mother was like a female lion.She lay down among the young lions.She had many cubs.
3 She brought up one of her cubs.And he became a strong lion.He learned to tear the animals he hunted.And he ate people.
4 The nations heard about him.He was trapped in their pit.And they brought him with hooksto the land of Egypt.
5 “‘The mother lion waited and sawthat there was no hope for her cub.So she took another one of her cubsand made him a strong lion.
