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. 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. 4 And nations hear of him, || He has been caught in their pit, || And they bring him to the land of Egypt in chains. 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. 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. 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.
