CHAP. XIX.

1 A lamentation for the Princes of Israel, vnder the parable of Lyons whelpes taken in a pit, 10 and for Ierusalem, vnder the parable of a wasted vine.

1Moreouer, take thou vp a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

2And say, What is thy mother? a lyonesse: shee lay downe among lions, she nourished her whelpes among yong lions.

3And shee brought vp one of her whelps: it became a yong lion, & it learned to catch the pray, it deuoured men.

4The nations also heard of him, hee was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chaines vnto the land of Egypt.4

5Now when she saw that shee had waited, and her hope was lost, then she tooke another of her whelps, and made him a yong lion.

6And he went vp and downe among the lions, he became a yong lion, and learned to catch the pray, and deuoured men.

7And he knew there desolate palaces, and he laied waste their cities, and the land was desolate, and the fulnesse thereof by the noise of his roaring.7

8Then the nations set against him on euery side from the prouinces, and spread their net ouer him: he was taken in their pit.

9And they put him in ward in chaines, and brought him to the king of Babylon, they brought him into holds, that his voyce should no more be heard vpon the mountaines of Israel.9

10ΒΆ Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters, she was fruitfull and full of branches by reason of many waters,10

11And she had strong rods for the scepters of them that beare rule, and her stature was exalted among the thicke branches, & she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.

12But she was plucked vp in fury: she was cast downe to the ground, and the East wind dryed vp her fruite: her strong rods were broken and withered, the fire consumed them.12

13And now she is planted in the wildernesse, in a dry and thirsty ground.

14And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath deuoured her fruite, so that she hath no strong rod to be a scepter to rule: this is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
