KJV · Textus Receptus
Moreover take thouup alamentation for theprinces of Israel,
2 Andsay, What is thymother? Alioness: she laydown amonglions, shenourished herwhelpsamong young lions.
3 And she broughtupone of herwhelps: it became a younglion, and itlearned tocatch theprey; itdevoured men.
4 Thenations alsoheard of him; he wastaken in theirpit, and theybrought him withchains unto theland of Egypt.
5 Now when shesaw that she hadwaited, and herhope waslost, then shetookanother of herwhelps, andmade him a young lion.
6 And he went up anddownamong thelions, he became a younglion, andlearned tocatch theprey, anddevoured men.
7 And heknew their desolatepalaces, and he laidwaste theircities; and theland wasdesolate, and thefulness thereof, by thenoise of his roaring.
8 Then thenationsset against him on everyside from theprovinces, andspread theirnet over him: he wastaken in their pit.
9 And theyput him inward inchains, andbrought him to theking ofBabylon: theybrought him intoholds, that hisvoice should no more beheard upon themountains of Israel.
10 Thymother is like avine in thyblood,planted by thewaters: she wasfruitful and full ofbranches by reason ofmany waters.
11 And she hadstrongrods for thesceptres of them that barerule, and herstature wasexalted among the thickbranches, and sheappeared in herheight with themultitude of her branches.
12 But she was pluckedup infury, she was castdown to theground, and theeastwind driedup herfruit: herstrongrods werebroken andwithered; thefire consumed them.
13 And now she isplanted in thewilderness, in adry andthirsty ground.
14 Andfire is goneout of arod of herbranches, which hathdevoured herfruit, so that she hath nostrongrod to be asceptre torule. This is alamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
