Then she saw, as she waited,
That her hope was lost,
So she took [a]another of her cubs
And made him a young lion.
And he (A)walked about among the lions;
He became a young lion;
He learned to tear his prey;
He devoured men.
He [b]knew how to destroy their [c]fortified towers
And laid waste their cities;
And the land was in desolation, as well as its fullness
Because of the sound of his roaring.
Then (B)nations put themselves against him
All around from their provinces,
And they spread their net over him;
He was captured in their pit.
(C)They put him in a cage with hooks
And (D)brought him to the king of Babylon;
They brought him in hunting nets
So that his voice would be heard no more
On the mountains of Israel.
