19:1 Moreover take thou up 5375 8798 a lamentation 7015 for the princes 5387 of Israel 3478,

19:2 And say 559 8804, What [is] thy mother 517? A lioness 3833: she lay down 7257 8804 among lions 738, she nourished 7235 8765 her whelps 1482 among 8432 young lions 3715.

19:3 And she brought up 5927 8686 one 259 of her whelps 1482: it became a young lion 3715, and it learned 3925 8799 to catch 2963 8800 the prey 2964; it devoured 398 8804 men 120.

19:4 The nations 1471 also heard 8085 8799 of him; he was taken 8610 8738 in their pit 7845, and they brought 935 8686 him with chains 2397 unto the land 776 of Egypt 4714.

19:5 Now when she saw 7200 8799 that she had waited 3176 8738, [and] her hope 8615 was lost 6 8804, then she took 3947 8799 another 259 of her whelps 1482, [and] made 7760 8804 him a young lion 3715.

19:6 And he went up and down 1980 8691 among 8432 the lions 738, he became a young lion 3715, and learned 3925 8799 to catch 2963 8800 the prey 2964, [and] devoured 398 8804 men 120.

19:7 And he knew 3045 8799 their desolate palaces 490, and he laid waste 2717 8689 their cities 5892; and the land 776 was desolate 3456 8799, and the fulness 4393 thereof, by the noise 6963 of his roaring 7581.(their desolate…: or, their widows)(the fulness…: or, all it containeth)

19:8 Then the nations 1471 set 5414 8799 against him on every side 5439 from the provinces 4082, and spread 6566 8799 their net 7568 over him: he was taken 8610 8738 in their pit 7845.

19:9 And they put 5414 8799 him in ward 5474 in chains 2397, and brought 935 8686 him to the king 4428 of Babylon 894: they brought 935 8686 him into holds 4685, that his voice 6963 should no more be heard 8085 8735 upon the mountains 2022 of Israel 3478.(in chains: or, in hooks)

19:10 Thy mother 517 [is] like a vine 1612 in thy blood 1818 8676 1818, planted 8362 8803 by the waters 4325: she was fruitful 6509 8802 and full of branches 6058 by reason of many 7227 waters 4325.(in…: or, in thy quietness, or, in thy likeness)

19:11 And she had strong 5797 rods 4294 for the sceptres 7626 of them that bare rule 4910 8802, and her stature 6967 was exalted 1361 8799 among the thick branches 5688, and she appeared 7200 8735 in her height 1363 with the multitude 7230 of her branches 1808.

19:12 But she was plucked up 5428 8714 in fury 2534, she was cast down 7993 8717 to the ground 776, and the east 6921 wind 7307 dried up 3001 8689 her fruit 6529: her strong 5797 rods 4294 were broken 6561 8694 and withered 3001 8804; the fire 784 consumed 398 8804 them.

19:13 And now she [is] planted 8362 8803 in the wilderness 4057, in a dry 6723 and thirsty 6772 ground 776.

19:14 And fire 784 is gone out 3318 8799 of a rod 4294 of her branches 905, [which] hath devoured 398 8804 her fruit 6529, so that she hath no strong 5797 rod 4294 [to be] a sceptre 7626 to rule 4910 8800. This [is] a lamentation 7015, and shall be for a lamentation 7015.
