When she saw, as she waited,
That her hope was lost,
She took [a]another of her cubs
And made (A)him a young lion.
And he (B)walked about among the lions,
He became a young lion;
He learned to tear his prey;
He devoured people.
He [b]destroyed their [c]palaces
And laid waste their cities;
And the land and its fullness were appalled
Because of the sound of his roaring.
Then (C)nations set against him
On every side from their provinces,
And they spread their net over him;
He was caught in their trap.
(D)They put him in a [d]wooden collar with hooks
And (E)brought him to the king of Babylon;
They brought him in hunting nets
So that his voice would no longer be heard
On the mountains of Israel.

When she saw that she was thwarted,
    that her hope was lost,
she took another of her cubs
    and made him a young lion.(A)
He prowled among the lions;
    he became a young lion,
and he learned to catch prey;
    he devoured people.(B)
And he ravaged their strongholds[a]
    and laid waste their towns;
the land was appalled, and all in it,
    at the sound of his roaring.(C)
The nations set upon him
    from the provinces all around;
they spread their net over him;
    he was caught in their pit.(D)
With hooks they put him in a neck collar
    and brought him to the king of Babylon;
    they brought him into custody,
so that his voice should be heard no more
    on the mountains of Israel.(E)
