1. Moreover take you up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2. And say, What is your mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her cubs among young lions.
3. And she brought up one of her cubs: 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.
5. Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her cubs, and made him a young lion.
