- 1
- And you, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
- 2
- and say: What was your mother? A lioness! Among lions she crouched; in the midst of young lions she reared her cubs.
- 3
- And she brought up one of her cubs; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch prey; he devoured men.
- 4
- The nations heard about him; he was caught in their pit, and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.
- 5
- When she saw that she waited in vain, that her hope was lost, she took another of her cubs and made him a young lion.
- 6
- He prowled among the lions; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch prey; he devoured men,
- 7
- and seized their widows. He laid waste their cities, and the land was appalled and all who were in it at the sound of his roaring.
- 8
- Then the nations set against him from provinces on every side; they spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit.
- 9
- With hooks they put him in a cage and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into custody, that his voice should no more be heard on the mountains of Israel.
- 10
- Your mother was like a vine in a vineyard planted by the water, fruitful and full of branches by reason of abundant water.
- 11
- Its strong stems became rulers’ scepters; it towered aloft among the thick boughs; it was seen in its height with the mass of its branches.
- 12
- But the vine was plucked up in fury, cast down to the ground; the east wind dried up its fruit; they were stripped off and withered. As for its strong stem, fire consumed it.
- 13
- Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
- 14
- And fire has gone out from the stem of its shoots, has consumed its fruit, so that there remains in it no strong stem, no scepter for ruling. This is a lamentation and has become a lamentation.

Mert az istentelenség kenyerét eszik, és az erőszakosság borát isszák.
