1. Moreover take thou up a kinah (lament) for the nasi'im of Yisroel,
2. And say, What is immecha, a lioness? She lay down among arayot (lions), rearing her cubs among young lions.
3. And she brought up one of her cubs; it became a strong lion, and it learned to tear teref (prey); it devoured adam.
4. The Goyim also heard of him; he was trapped in their shachat (pit), and they brought him with hooks unto Eretz Mitzrayim.
5. Now when she saw that in vain she had waited, and her tikvah (hope) was lost, then she took another of her cubs, and made him a strong lion.
6. And he went up and down among the arayot (lions), he became a strong lion, and learned to tear the teref, and devoured adam.
7. And he destroyed their strongholds, and he laid waste their towns; and eretz and the fulness thereof became desolate, through the sound of his roaring.
8. Then the Goyim set against him on every side from the medinot (provinces), and spread their reshet (net) over him; he was trapped in their shachat (pit [trap]).
