Moreover, take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

and say: How was thy mother a lioness; Among lions she couched, In the midst of the young lions She reared her whelps!

Then the nations assembled against him, He was taken in their pit; And they brought him with hooks Unto the land of Egypt.

⁵וַתֵּ֨רֶא֙ כִּ֣י נֽוֹחֲלָ֔ה אָבְדָ֖ה תִּקְוָתָ֑הּ וַתִּקַּ֛ח אֶחָ֥ד מִגֻּרֶ֖יהָ כְּפִ֥יר שָׂמָֽתְהוּ׃

Now when she saw that she was disappointed, And her hope was lost, Then she took another of her whelps, And made him a young lion.

vayyeda' almenotav ve'arehem hecheriv vattesham eretz umelo'ah mikkol sha'agato

And he knew their castles, And laid waste their cities; And the land was desolate, And the fulness thereof, Because of the noise of his roaring.

⁸וַיִּתְּנ֨וּ עָלָ֥יו גּוֹיִ֛ם סָבִ֖יב מִמְּדִינ֑וֹת וַֽיִּפְרְשׂ֥וּ עָלָ֛יו רִשְׁתָּ֖ם בְּשַׁחְתָּ֥ם נִתְפָּֽשׂ׃

Then the nations cried out against him On every side from the provinces; And they spread their net over him, He was taken in their pit.

And they put him in a cage with hooks, And brought him to the king of Babylon; That they might bring him into strongholds, So that his voice should no more be heard Upon the mountains of Israel.

¹⁰אִמְּךָ֥ כַגֶּ֛פֶן בְּדָמְךָ֖ עַל־מַ֣יִם שְׁתוּלָ֑ה פֹּֽרִיָּה֙ וַֽעֲנֵפָ֔ה הָיְתָ֖ה מִמַּ֥יִם רַבִּֽים׃

immekha khaggefen bedamkha al-mayim shetula poriyya va'anefa hayta mimmayim rabbim

Thy mother was like a vine, in thy likeness, Planted by the waters; She was fruitful and full of branches By reason of many waters.

¹¹וַיִּֽהְיוּ־לָ֞הּ מַטּ֣וֹת עֹ֗ז אֶל־שִׁבְטֵי֙ מֹֽשְׁלִ֔ים וַתִּגְבַּ֥הּ קֽוֹמָת֖וֹ עַל־בֵּ֣ין עֲבֹתִ֑ים וַיֵּרָ֣א בְגָבְה֔וֹ בְּרֹ֖ב דָּלִיֹּתָֽיו׃

vayyihyu-lah mattot oz el-shivte moshlim vattigbah komato al-ben avotim vayyera vegavho berov daliyyotav

And she had strong rods To be sceptres for them that bore rule; And her stature was exalted Among the thick branches, And she was seen in her height With the multitude of her tendrils.

¹²וַתֻּתַּ֤שׁ בְּחֵמָה֙ לָאָ֣רֶץ הֻשְׁלָ֔כָה וְר֥וּחַ הַקָּדִ֖ים הוֹבִ֣ישׁ פִּרְיָ֑הּ הִתְפָּרְק֧וּ וְיָבֵ֛שׁוּ מַטֵּ֥ה עֻזָּ֖הּ אֵ֥שׁ אֲכָלָֽתְהוּ׃

vattuttash bechema la'aretz hushlakha veruach hakkadim hovish piryah hitparku veyaveshu matte uzzah esh akhalathu

But she was plucked up in fury, She was cast down to the ground, And the east wind dried up her fruit; Her strong rods were broken off and withered, The fire consumed her.

¹³וְעַתָּ֖ה שְׁתוּלָ֣ה בַמִּדְבָּ֑ר בְּאֶ֖רֶץ צִיָּ֥ה וְצָמָֽא׃

ve'atta shetula vammidbar be'eretz tziyya vetzama

And now she is planted in the wilderness, In a dry and thirsty ground.

¹⁴וַתֵּצֵ֨א אֵ֜שׁ מִמַּטֵּ֤ה בַדֶּ֨יהָ֙ פִּרְיָ֣הּ אָכָ֔לָה וְלֹא־הָ֥יָה בָ֛הּ מַטֵּה־עֹ֖ז שֵׁ֣בֶט לִמְשׁ֑וֹל קִ֥ינָה הִ֖יא וַתְּהִ֥י לְקִינָֽה׃

vattetze esh mimmatte vaddeha piryah akhala velo-haya vah matte-oz shevet limshol kina hi vattehi lekina

And fire is gone out of the rod of her branches, It hath devoured her fruit, So that there is in her no strong rod To be a sceptre to rule.’ This is a lamentation, and it was for a lamentation.

World Messianic Bible (English numbering)

¹“Moreover, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

²and say, ‘What was your mother? A lioness. She couched among lions, in the middle of the young lions she nourished her cubs.

³She brought up one of her cubs. He became a young lion. He learned to catch the prey. He devoured men.

⁴The nations also heard of him. He was taken in their pit; and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.

⁵“‘Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her cubs, and made him a young lion.

⁶He went up and down among the lions. He became a young lion. He learned to catch the prey. He devoured men.

⁷He knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities. The land was desolate with its fullness, because of the noise of his roaring.

⁸Then the nations attacked him on every side from the provinces. They spread their net over him. He was taken in their pit.

⁹They put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon. They brought him into strongholds, so that his voice should no more be heard on the mountains of Israel.

¹⁰“‘Your mother was like a vine in your blood, planted by the waters. It was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.

¹¹It had strong branches for the scepters of those who ruled. Their stature was exalted among the thick boughs. They were seen in their height with the multitude of their branches.

¹²But it was plucked up in fury. It was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit. Its strong branches were broken off and withered. The fire consumed them.

¹³Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.

¹⁴Fire has gone out of its branches. It has devoured its fruit, so that there is in it no strong branch to be a scepter to rule.’ This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.”
