And you, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, and say:

What was your mother? A lioness!

Among lions she crouched;

in the midst of young lions

she reared her cubs.

And she brought up one of her cubs;

he became a young lion,

and he learned to catch prey;

he devoured men.

and he became a man-eater.

he became a fierce lion,

and he learned to tear prey;

he ate humans.
