26:019:001 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
26:019:002 And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among
lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
26:019:003 And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion,
and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
26:019:004 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and
they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
26:019:005 Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.
26:019:006 And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.
26:019:007 And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their
cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by
the noise of his roaring.
26:019:008 Then the nations set against him on every side from the
provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in
their pit.
26:019:009 And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the
king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice
should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
26:019:010 Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters:
she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many
waters.
