⁵ 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.
⁶ And he ^(A)walked about among the lions;
He became a young lion;
He learned to tear his prey;
He devoured men.
⁷ 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.
⁸ 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.
^9 (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.
