1 “Sing this funeral song for the princes of Israel:
2 “What is your mother?A lioness among lions!She lay down among the young lionsand reared her cubs.
3 She raised one of her cubsto become a strong young lion.He learned to hunt and devour prey,and he became a man-eater.
4 Then the nations heard about him,and he was trapped in their pit.They led him away with hooksto the land of Egypt.
