1. “And you, sing a lament for the princes of Israel,
2. and say: “‘What a lioness was your mother among the lions!She lay among young lions; she reared her cubs.
3. She reared one of her cubs; he became a young lion.He learned to tear prey; he devoured people.
4. The nations heard about him; he was trapped in their pit.They brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.
