King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Moreover
take
thou up a lamentation for
the
princes of Israel,
And
thou ,
lift
up a lamentation unto
princes of Israel,
And say,
What is thy mother? A lioness :
she
lay
down
among lions, she nourished
her whelps among
young
lions
.
and thou
hast
said:
What `
is '
thy mother? --
a lioness ,
Among lions she
hath
crouched
down
, In
the
midst
of
young
lions
she hath
multiplied
her whelps.
And she brought
up one of her whelps :
it
became
a young lion, and it learned
to catch
the
prey ;
it devoured men
.
And she bringeth
up one of her whelps ,
A young lion it
hath
been
, And it learneth
to tear
prey ,
man
it hath
devoured.
The
nations
also
heard
of him;
he
was
taken
in their pit, and they brought
him
with chains unto the land of Egypt.
And
hear
of it
do
nations,
In their pit it
hath
been
caught
, And they bring
it
in
with chains unto the land of Egypt.
Now
when
she
saw
that
she had
waited
, and
her hope was
lost
, then
she took
another
of her whelps, and
made
him
a young lion.
And
she seeth
, that
stayed
--
perished
hath
her hope, And
she taketh
one
of her whelps, A young lion she
hath
made
it
.
And he
went
up and down among
the lions, he
became
a young lion, and learned
to catch
the
prey, and
devoured men
.
And it
goeth
up and down in
the midst
of
lions, A young lion it
hath
been
, And it
learneth
to tear
prey, man
it
hath
devoured.
And he
knew
their
desolate
palaces
, and he
laid
waste
their cities ;
and the land was
desolate,
and the
fulness thereof
, by
the noise
of his roaring.
And it
knoweth
his
forsaken
habitations
, And their cities it
hath
laid
waste,
And desolate
is
the land and its
fulness, Because
of
the voice
of his roaring.
Then
the
nations
set against him
on
every
side
from the provinces ,
and spread their net over
him:
he
was
taken
in their pit.
And
set against it
do
nations
Round
about
from the provinces .
And they
spread out
for
it
their net ,
In their pit it
hath
been
caught
.
And they put him
in ward
in chains, and brought
him
to
the king of Babylon :
they brought
him
into
holds
, that his
voice should
no
more
be
heard upon
the
mountains of Israel.
And they put it
in prison
--
in chains, And they
bring
it
unto
the king of Babylon ,
They bring
it
in
unto
bulwarks
, So
that its
voice is
not
heard any
more
On
mountains of Israel.
Thy mother is like
a vine in thy blood ,
planted
by the
waters :
she
was
fruitful and full of branches
by
reason
of many waters.
Thy mother `
is '
as
a vine in thy blood by waters planted,
Fruitful and full of boughs
it
hath
been,
Because
of many waters.
And she
had
strong rods for the
sceptres of them
that
bare
rule
, and her
stature was
exalted
among
the
thick branches, and she
appeared
in her
height with
the multitude of her
branches
.
And it
hath
strong rods for sceptres of rulers
, And high
is
its
stature above
thick branches, And it
appeareth
in its
height In
the multitude of its
thin
shoots
.
But
she
was
plucked up in fury, she
was
cast
down
to the ground
, and the east wind dried up her
fruit :
her
strong
rods
were
broken and withered ;
the fire consumed them
.
And
it
is
plucked up in fury, To the earth
it
hath
been
cast
, And the east wind hath
dried up its
fruit ,
Broken and withered hath
been
the rod
of
its
strength,
Fire hath
consumed it
.
And now she
is planted in the
wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground
.
And now --
it
is planted in a
wilderness, In a land
dry and thirsty.
And fire is
gone
out
of
a rod of her
branches
, which
hath devoured her
fruit
, so
that
she
hath no strong
rod to
be
a sceptre to rule .
This
is
a
lamentation
, and shall
be
for a lamentation .
And go
forth
doth
fire from
a rod of its
boughs
, Its
fruit
it
hath devoured, And
it
hath no rod of
strength
--
a sceptre to rule, Lamentation
it
`is'
--
and it
is
for a lamentation !'
