2 And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among blions, she nourished her whelps among cyoung lions. 3 And she brought up one of her whelps: dit became ca young lion, and it learned ddto catch the prey; eit devoured men. 4 The nations also heard of him; fhe was taken in gtheir pit, and hthey brought him iwith chains dunto the land of Egypt. 5 Now when she saw that she had jwaited, and her hope was lost, then she took kanother of her whelps, and made him ca young lion. 6 And he went up and down among the lions, dhe lbecame a young lion, land learned to catch the prey, land devoured men. 7 And he knew ||mtheir desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and nthe land was desolate, nand the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring. 8 oThen the nations set against him on every side from pthe provinces, and qspread their net over him: fhe was taken in their pit. 9 And rthey put him in ward ||in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into sholds, that his voice should no more be heard upon tthe mountains of Israel.
