2 and you have said: What [is] your mother? A lioness, || She has crouched down among lions, || She has multiplied her whelps in the midst of young lions. and say: What was your mother? A lioness! Among lions she crouched; in the midst of young lions she reared her cubs. and say: “’What a lioness was your mother among the lions! She lay down among them and reared her cubs.
3 And she brings up one of her whelps, || He has been a young lion, || And he learns to tear prey, || He has devoured man. And she brought up one of her cubs; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch prey; he devoured men. She brought up one of her cubs, and he became a strong lion. He learned to tear the prey and he became a man-eater.
4 And nations hear of him, || He has been caught in their pit, || And they bring him to the land of Egypt in chains. The nations heard about him; he was caught in their pit, and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt. The nations heard about him, and he was trapped in their pit. They led him with hooks to the land of Egypt.
5 And as she waited she sees that her hope has perished, || And she takes one of her whelps, || She has made him a young lion. When she saw that she waited in vain, that her hope was lost, she took another of her cubs and made him a young lion. “’When she saw her hope unfulfilled, her expectation gone, she took another of her cubs and made him a strong lion.
6 And he goes up and down in the midst of lions, || He has been a young lion, || And he learns to tear prey, || He has devoured man. He prowled among the lions; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch prey; he devoured men, He prowled among the lions, for he was now a strong lion. He learned to tear the prey and he became a man-eater.
7 And he knows his forsaken habitations, || And he has laid waste [to] their cities, || And the land and its fullness is desolate, || Because of the voice of his roaring. and seized their widows. He laid waste their cities, and the land was appalled and all who were in it at the sound of his roaring. He broke down their strongholds and devastated their towns. The land and all who were in it were terrified by his roaring.
8 And surrounding nations set against him from the provinces. And they spread out their net for him, || He has been caught in their pit. Then the nations set against him from provinces on every side; they spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit. Then the nations came against him, those from regions round about. They spread their net for him, and he was trapped in their pit.
9 And they put him in prison—in chains, || And they bring him to the king of Babylon, || They bring him into bulwarks, || So that his voice is not heard || On mountains of Israel anymore. With hooks they put him in a cage and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into custody, that his voice should no more be heard on the mountains of Israel. With hooks they pulled him into a cage and brought him to the king of Babylon. They put him in prison, so his roar was heard no longer on the mountains of Israel.
10 Your mother, like the vine in your blood, || Is being planted by waters, || She was bearing fruit and full of boughs, || Because of many waters. Your mother was like a vine in a vineyard planted by the water, fruitful and full of branches by reason of abundant water. “’Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard planted by the water; it was fruitful and full of branches because of abundant water.
11 And she has strong rods for scepters of rulers, || And she is high in stature above—between thick branches, || And it appears in its height || In the multitude of its thin shoots. Its strong stems became rulers’ scepters; it towered aloft among the thick boughs; it was seen in its height with the mass of its branches. Its branches were strong, fit for a ruler’s scepter. It towered high above the thick foliage, conspicuous for its height and for its many branches.
12 And she is plucked up in fury, || She has been cast to the earth, || And the east wind has dried up her fruit, || [The] rod of her strength has been broken and withered, || Fire has consumed it. But the vine was plucked up in fury, cast down to the ground; the east wind dried up its fruit; they were stripped off and withered. As for its strong stem, fire consumed it. But it was uprooted in fury and thrown to the ground. The east wind made it shrivel, it was stripped of its fruit; its strong branches withered and fire consumed them.
13 And now she is planted in a wilderness, || In a dry and thirsty land. Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land. Now it is planted in the desert, in a dry and thirsty land.
14 And fire goes forth from a rod of her boughs, || It has devoured her fruit, || And she has no rod of strength—a scepter to rule, || A lamentation—and she has become for a lamentation!” And fire has gone out from the stem of its shoots, has consumed its fruit, so that there remains in it no strong stem, no scepter for ruling. This is a lamentation and has become a lamentation. Fire spread from one of its main branches and consumed its fruit. No strong branch is left on it fit for a ruler’s scepter.’ “This is a lament and is to be used as a lament.”
