1 Moreover, take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2 and say,What is thy mother? A lioness:she lay down among lions,she nourished her whelpsamong young lions.
3 And she brought up one of her whelps:it became a young lion,and it learned to catch the prey;it devoured men.
4 The nations also heard of him;he was taken in their pit,and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
