Authorized (King James) Version
19 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, 2 and say,
What is thy mother? A lioness:
she lay down among lions,
she nourished her whelps among young lions.
3 And she brought up one of her whelps:
it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey;
it devoured men.
4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit,
and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
