2 And say, What thy mother? a lioness: between lions she lay down, in the midst of young lions she brought up her whelps. 3 And she will bring up one of her whelps: it was a young lion, and it will learn to rend the prey eating man. 4 And the nations will hear concerning him; in their pit he was taken, and they will bring him with hooks to the land of Egypt. 5 And she will see that waiting her hope perished, and she will take one of her whelps setting him a young lion. 6 And he will go about in the midst of the lions; he was a young lion, and he will learn to tear in pieces the prey, eating man. 7 And he knew their palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land will be desolate and its fulness from the voice of his roaring. 8 And the nations will give against him round about from the provinces, and they will spread their net upon him, being taken in their pit. 9 And they will give him in a prison with hooks, and they will bring him to the king of Babel: they will bring him into fastnesses so that his voice shall no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
