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.
9. They put him in fetters and took him awayto the king of Babylon,So his roar would no longer be heardon the mountains of Israel.
10. Your mother was like a leafy vineplanted by water,Fruitful and full of branchesbecause of abundant water.
