Berean Standard Bible
And
thou
, lift
up a lamentation
unto
princes of Israel ,
“As
for
you
, take
up a lament
for
the
princes of Israel
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 say
: ‘
What was
your
mother? A lioness among the
lions !
She lay
down among
the young lions ;
she reared
her cubs
.
And
she bringeth
up one of her whelps
, A young lion it
hath
been,
And
it
learneth
to tear prey, man
it
hath
devoured.
She brought
up one of her cubs
, and
he
became
a young lion .
After
learning
to tear his
prey, he
devoured men
.
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.
When
the
nations heard
of
him
, he
was
trapped
in their pit .
With hooks
they
led
him
away
to
the land of Egypt.
And
she seeth
, that stayed
--
perished
hath
her hope, And
she taketh
one
of her whelps,
A young lion she
hath
made
it
.
When
she saw
that
she
had
waited
in
vain
, that her hope was
lost
, she took
another
of her cubs
and
made
him
a young lion.
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.
He
prowled
among
the lions, and
became
a young lion .
After
learning
to tear his
prey, he
devoured men
.
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.
He
broke
down
their
strongholds
and devastated
their cities .
The land and everything
in
it
shuddered
at
the sound
of his roaring.
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
.
Then
the
nations
set out
against him
from the provinces on
every
side
. They spread their net over
him;
he
was
trapped
in their pit.
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.
With
hooks
they caged
him
and brought
him
to
the king of Babylon .
They brought
him
into
captivity
so that his
roar
was
heard no
longer
on the
mountains of Israel.
Thy
mother `is'
as
a vine in thy
blood
by
waters
planted
, Fruitful and full of boughs
it
hath
been,
Because of many
waters.
Your
mother was
like
a vine in your
vineyard
, planted
by
the
water;
it
was
fruitful and full of branches
because of the
abundant
waters.
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
.
It had
strong branches
, fit
for
a
ruler’s
scepter.
It
towered
high above the
thick branches, conspicuous
for
its height and
for
its dense
foliage
.
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
.
But
it was
uprooted
in fury, cast
down
to the ground
, and the east wind dried up its fruit .
Its
strong
branches
were
stripped
off
and they
withered ;
the fire consumed them
.
And
now --
it is planted in a
wilderness, In a land
dry and thirsty.
Now it is planted in the
wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land
.
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!'
Fire has
gone
out
from its main
branch
and
devoured
its fruit ;
on
it no strong
branch
remains
fit
for
a ruler’s
scepter.’
This
is a
lament
and shall
be
used
as
a lament.”
