⁵ When she learned that her plans had been frustrated
    and that her hopes were dashed,
she took another of her cubs
    and turned him into a fierce lion.
⁶ He prowled around among the lions,
    became a strong, young lion,
and learned to become a hunter-prowler—
    to eat human beings.
⁷ He raped^[a] the women,
    devastating their towns.
The land was made desolate,
    and all the while the land was filled
        with the sound of his roaring.
⁸ The surrounding nations attacked.
    They tossed their net over him,
        and he was caught in their trap.^[b]
9 They imprisoned him in a cage with hooks
    and brought him to the king of Babel.
Then they placed him in their dungeon
    where his voice would no longer be heard
        on the mountains of Israel.
