YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
And
thou ,
lift
up a lamentation unto
princes of Israel,
Moreover
take
thou up a lamentation 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 is thy mother? A lioness :
she lay
down among
lions ,
she nourished
her whelps among
young
lions
.
And she bringeth
up one of her whelps ,
A young lion it
hath
been
, And it learneth
to tear
prey ,
man
it hath
devoured.
And she brought
up one of her whelps :
it
became
a young lion, and it learned
to catch
the
prey ;
it 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.
The
nations also
heard
of
him;
he
was
taken
in their pit, and they brought
him
with chains unto 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
.
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 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
went
up and down among
the lions, he
became
a young lion, and learned
to catch
the
prey, and
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.
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
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 against him
on
every
side
from the provinces ,
and spread their net over
him:
he
was
taken
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.
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.
Thy mother `
is '
as
a vine in thy blood by waters planted,
Fruitful and full of boughs
it
hath
been,
Because
of many waters.
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.
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
.
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
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
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 now --
it
is planted in a
wilderness, In a land
dry and thirsty.
And now she
is planted in the
wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground
.
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 !'
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 .
