2 and say:What a lioness was your mother,a lion among lions!She made her lair among young lions,to raise her cubs;
3 One cub she raised up,a young lion he became;He learned to tear apart prey,he devoured people.
4 Nations heard about him;in their pit he was caught;They took him away with hooksto the land of Egypt.
5 When she realized she had waited in vain,she lost hope.She took another of her cubs,and made him a young lion.
6 He prowled among the lions,became a young lion;He learned to tear apart prey,he devoured people.
7 He ravaged their strongholds,laid waste their cities.The earth and everything in it were terrifiedat the sound of his roar.
8 Nations laid out against himsnares all around;They spread their net for him,in their pit he was caught.
