H559 [H8804]
And say,
H517
What is thy mother?
H3833
A lioness:
H7257 [H8804]
she lay down
H738
among lions,
H7235 [H8765]
she nourished
H1482
her whelps
H8432
among
H3715
young lions.
3
H5927 [H8686]
And she brought up
H259
one
H1482
of her whelps:
H3715
it became a young lion,
H3925 [H8799]
and it learned
H2963 [H8800]
to catch
H2964
the prey;
H398 [H8804]
it devoured
H120
men.
4
H1471
The nations
H8085 [H8799]
also heard
H8610 [H8738]
of him; he was taken
H7845
in their pit,
H935 [H8686]
and they brought
H2397
him with chains
H776
to the land
H4714
of Egypt.
5
H7200 [H8799]
Now when she saw
H3176 [H8738]
that she had waited,
H8615
and her hope
H6 [H8804]
was lost,
H3947 [H8799]
then she took
H259
another
H1482
of her whelps,
H7760 [H8804]
and made
H3715
him a young lion.
6
H1980 [H8691]
And he went up and down
H8432
among
H738
the lions,
H3715
he became a young lion,
H3925 [H8799]
and learned
H2963 [H8800]
to catch
H2964
the prey,
H398 [H8804]
and devoured
H120
men.
7
H3045 [H8799]
And he knew
H490
their desolate palaces,
H2717 [H8689]
and he laid waste
H5892
their cities;
H776
and the land
H3456 [H8799]
was desolate,
H4393
and all it containeth,
H6963
by the noise
H7581
of his roaring.
8
H1471
Then the nations
H5414 [H8799]
set
H5439
against him on every side
H4082
from the provinces,
H6566 [H8799]
and spread
H7568
their net
H8610 [H8738]
over him: he was taken
H7845
in their pit.
9
H5414 [H8799]
And they put
H5474
him in custody
H2397
in chains,
H935 [H8686]
and brought
H4428
him to the king
H894
of Babylon:
H935 [H8686]
they brought
H4685
him into strong holds,
H6963
that his voice
H8085 [H8735]
should no more be heard
H2022
upon the mountains
H3478
of Israel.
10
H517
Thy mother
H1612
is like a vine
H1818 H1818 [H8676]
in thy blood,
H8362 [H8803]
planted
H4325
by the waters:
H6509 [H8802]
she was fruitful
H6058
and full of branches
H7227
by reason of many
H4325
waters.
11
H5797
And she had strong
H4294
rods
H7626
for the sceptres
H4910 [H8802]
of them that bore rule,
H6967
and her stature
H1361 [H8799]
was exalted
H5688
among the thick branches,
H7200 [H8735]
and she appeared
H1363
in her height
H7230
with the abundance
H1808
of her branches.
12
H5428 [H8714]
But she was plucked up
H2534
in hot anger,
H7993 [H8717]
she was cast down
H776
to the earth,
H6921
and the east
H7307
wind
H3001 [H8689]
dried up
H6529
her fruit:
H5797
her strong
H4294
rods
H6561 [H8694]
were broken
H3001 [H8804]
and withered;
H784
the fire
H398 [H8804]
consumed them.
