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