Lament for the Princes of Israel

1“As for you, takeH5375 up a 1lamentationH7015 for the 2princesH5387 of IsraelH3478 2and sayH559, ‘3WhatH4100 was your motherH517? A lionessH3833 amongH996 lionsH738! She layH7257 downH7257 amongH8432 youngH3715 lionsH3715, She rearedH7235 her cubsH1482.3When she broughtH5927 up oneH259 of her cubsH1482, He becameH1961 a lionH3715, And he learnedH3925 to tearH2963 his preyH2964; He devouredH398 menH120.4Then nationsH1471 heardH8085 aboutH413 him; He was capturedH8610 in their pitH7845, And they 4broughtH935 him with hooksH2397 To the landH776 of EgyptH4714.5When she sawH7200, as she waitedH3176, That her hopeH8615 was lostH6, She tookH3947 5anotherH259 of her cubsH1482 And madeH7760 him a youngH3715 lionH3715.6And he 6walkedH1980 about amongH8432 the lionsH738; He becameH1961 a youngH3715 lionH3715, He learnedH3925 to tearH2963 his preyH2964; He devouredH398 menH120.7He 7destroyedH7489 their 8fortifiedH490 towersH759 And laidH2717 wasteH2717 their citiesH5892; And the landH776 and its fullnessH4393 were appalledH3456 BecauseH4480 of the soundH6963 of his roaringH7581.8Then 9nationsH1471 setH5414 againstH5921 him On everyH5439 sideH5439 from their provincesH4082, And they spreadH6566 their netH7568 overH5921 him; He was capturedH8610 in their pitH7845.910They putH5414 him in a cageH5474 with hooksH2397 And 11broughtH935 him to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894; They broughtH935 him in huntingH4685 netsH4685 SoH4616 that his voiceH6963 would be heardH8085 noH3808 moreH5750 On the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478.10Your motherH517 was 12like a vineH1612 in your 13vineyard, PlantedH8362 by the watersH4325; It was fruitfulH6509 and fullH6058 of branchesH6058 BecauseH4480 of abundantH7227 watersH4325.11And it hadH1961 1415strongH5797 branchesH4294 fit for sceptersH7626 of rulersH4910, And its 16heightH6967 was raisedH1361 aboveH5921H996 the cloudsH5688 So that it was seenH7200 in its heightH1363 with the massH7230 of its branchesH1808.12But it was 17pluckedH5428 up in furyH2534; It was 18castH7993 downH7993 to the groundH776; And the 19eastH6921 windH7307 driedH3001 up its fruitH6529. Its 2021strongH5797 branchH4294 22was tornH6561 offH6561 So that 23it witheredH3001; The fireH784 consumedH398 it.13And nowH6258 it is plantedH8362 in the 24wildernessH4057, In a dryH6723 and thirstyH6772 landH776.14And 25fireH784 has goneH3318 out from its branchH4294; It has consumedH398 its shootsH909 and fruitH6529, So that there is not in it a 26strongH5797 branchH4294, A scepterH7626 to ruleH4910.’” ThisH1931 is a lamentationH7015, and has becomeH1961 a lamentationH7015.
