2 and thou shalt say, How hast thy mother, the lioness, lain down among the lions? She raised her whelps among the young lions.
3 And she brought up one of her whelps; it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey and to devour men.
4 The Gentiles also heard of him; he was taken in their trap, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
5 Now when she saw that she had waited a long time and her hope was being lost, then she took another of her whelps and made him a young lion.
6 And he went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion and learned to catch the prey and devoured men.
7 And he knew their widows, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fullness thereof, by the voice of his roaring.
8 Then the Gentiles set against him on every side from the provinces and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
