On this account, gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl, - Because the glow of the anger of Yahweh hath not turned from us.

Men, he devoured. read more.

A young lion, she made him. Yea he went to and fro amidst lions A young lion, he became,- And he learned to rend prey. Men, he devoured; And he injured b his widows, And their cities, laid waste,- And deserted was the land and its fulness, At the noise of his roaring. Then set upon him the nations round about. From the provinces,- And spread over him their net In their pit, was he caught; And they put him in a cage with hooks, And brought him to Babylon's king, - They brought him into strong-holds, That his noise might be heard no more Among the mountains of Israel.
