Lament for the Princes of Israel: Parable of the Lion's Whelps

 
"Moreover, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, +
and say,'What was your mother?A lioness.She couched among lions,in the middle of the young lions she nourished her cubs. +
She brought up one of her cubs.He became a young lion.He learned to catch the prey.He devoured men. +
The nations also heard of him.He was taken in their pit;and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt. +
"'Now when she saw that she had waited,and her hope was lost,then she took another of her cubs,and made him a young lion. +
He went up and down among the lions.He became a young lion.He learned to catch the prey.He devoured men. +
He knew their palaces,and laid waste their cities.The land was desolate,with its fullness,because of the noise of his roaring. +
Then the nations attacked him on every side from the provinces.They spread their net over him.He was taken in their pit. +
They put him in a cage with hooks,and brought him to the king of Babylon.They brought him into strongholds,so that his voice should no more be heard on the mountains of Israel. +

"'Your mother was like a vinein your blood,planted by the waters.It was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters. +
11 
It had strong branches for the scepters of those who ruled.Their stature was exalted among the thick boughs.They were seen in their heightwith the multitude of their branches. +
12 
But it was plucked up in fury.It was cast down to the ground,and the east wind dried up its fruit.Its strong branches were broken off and withered.The fire consumed them. +
13 
Now it is planted in the wilderness,in a dry and thirsty land. +
14 
Fire has gone out of its branches.It has devoured its fruit,so that there is in it no strong branch to be a scepter to rule.'This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation." +
