Lament for the Princes of Israel

1

"As for you, takeh5375 up a  alamentationh7015 for the  bprincesh5387a of Israelh3478

2

and sayh559, ` 1Whath4100 was your motherh517? A lionessh3833b amongh996 lionsh738! She layh7257 downh7257 amongh8432 youngh3715 lionsh3715, She rearedh7235a her cubsh1482.

3

`When she broughth5927 up oneh259 of her cubsh1482, He becameh1961 a lionh3715, And he learnedh3925 to tearh2963 his preyh2964; He devouredh398 menh120.

4

`Then nationsh1471 heardh8085 abouth413 him; He was capturedh8610 in their pith7845, And they  abroughth935 him with hooksh2397 To the landh776 of Egypth4714.

5

`When she sawh7200, as she waitedh3176, That her hopeh8615b was losth6, She tookh3947  1anotherh259 of her cubsh1482 And madeh7760 him a youngh3715 lionh3715.

6

`And he  awalkedh1980 about amongh8432 the lionsh738; He becameh1961 a youngh3715 lionh3715, He learnedh3925 to tearh2963 his preyh2964; He devouredh398 menh120.

7

`He  1destroyedh7489b their  2fortifiedh490 towersh759 And laidh2717b wasteh2717b their citiesh5892b; And the landh776 and its fullnessh4393 were appalledh3456 Becauseh4480 of the soundh6963 of his roaringh7581.

8

`Then  anationsh1471 seth5414 againsth5921 him On everyh5439 sideh5439 from their provincesh4082, And they spreadh6566 their neth7568 overh5921 him; He was capturedh8610 in their pith7845.

9

aThey puth5414 him in a cageh5474 with hooksh2397 And  bbroughth935 him to the kingh4428 of Babylonh894; They broughth935 him in huntingh4685c netsh4685c Soh4616 that his voiceh6963 would be heardh8085 noh3808 moreh5750 On the mountainsh2022 of Israelh3478.

10

`Your motherh517 was  alike a vineh1612 in your  1vineyard, Plantedh8362 by the watersh4325; It was fruitfulh6509 and fullh6058 of branchesh6058 Becauseh4480 of abundanth7227a watersh4325.

11

`And it hadh1961  1 astrongh5797 branchesh4294 fit for sceptersh7626 of rulersh4910, And its  bheighth6967 was raisedh1361b aboveh5921h996 the cloudsh5688 So that it was seenh7200 in its heighth1363 with the massh7230 of its branchesh1808.

12

`But it was  apluckedh5428 up in furyh2534; It was  bcasth7993 downh7993 to the groundh776; And the  ceasth6921 windh7307 driedh3001 up its fruith6529. Its  1 dstrongh5797 branchh4294  2was tornh6561 offh6561 So that  3it witheredh3001; The fireh784 consumedh398 it.

13

`And nowh6258 it is plantedh8362 in the  awildernessh4057b, In a dryh6723 and thirstyh6772 landh776.

14

`And  afireh784 has goneh3318 out from its branchh4294; It has consumedh398 its shootsh909 and fruith6529, So that there is not in it a  1strongh5797 branchh4294, A scepterh7626 to ruleh4910.' " Thish1931 is a lamentationh7015, and has becomeh1961 a lamentationh7015.
