⁵ “‘When she saw her hope unfulfilled,
    her expectation gone,
she took another of her cubs^(A)
    and made him a strong lion.^(B)
6 He prowled among the lions,
    for he was now a strong lion.
He learned to tear the prey
    and he became a man-eater.^(C)
7 He broke down^[a] their strongholds
    and devastated^(D) their towns.
The land and all who were in it
    were terrified by his roaring.
⁸ Then the nations^(E) came against him,
    those from regions round about.
They spread their net^(F) for him,
    and he was trapped in their pit.^(G)
9 With hooks^(H) they pulled him into a cage
    and brought him to the king of Babylon.^(I)
They put him in prison,
    so his roar^(J) was heard no longer
    on the mountains of Israel.^(K)
