1. And thou, lift up a lamentation unto princes of Israel,
2. and thou hast said: What [is] thy mother? --a lioness, Among lions she hath crouched down, In the midst of young lions she hath multiplied her whelps.
3. And she bringeth up one of her whelps, A young lion it hath been, And it learneth to tear prey, man it hath devoured.
