5“ ‘When she saw her hope unfulfilled, her expectation gone, she took another of her cubs and made him a strong lion.

6He prowled among the lions, for he was now a strong lion. He learned to tear the prey and he became a man-eater.

7He broke down Targum (see Septuagint); Hebrew He knew a their strongholds and devastated their towns. The land and all who were in it were terrified by his roaring.

8Then the nations came against him, those from regions round about. They spread their net for him, and he was trapped in their pit.

9With hooks they pulled him into a cage and brought him to the king of Babylon. They put him in prison, so his roar was heard no longer on the mountains of Israel.
