Thematic Bible: Of lions' cubs


Thematic Bible



"And you, raise a lament about the leaders of Israel, and you must say, 'What a lioness [was] your mother among [the] lions. She lay down in the midst of young lions, [and] she reared her lion cubs. And she raised up one from her cubs; he became a fierce lion, and he learned to tear prey; he ate humans. read more.
And nations heard about him; in their pit he was caught, and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt. And she saw that she was waiting [in vain]; her hope was destroyed, and she took one from her cubs, [and] she made him a fierce lion. And he walked about in the midst of lions; he became a fierce lion, and he learned to tear prey; he ate humans. And he knew their widows, and he devastated their cities, and [the] land was appalled, and {everyone in it} at the sound of his roar. And nations set out against him {from the surrounding provinces}, and they spread their net over him, and he was caught in their pit. And they put him in a collar with hooks, and they brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into a prison, so that his voice [would] not be heard {any longer} on the mountains of Israel.
