The .xix. Chapter.
The captyuyte of Ichoahaz and of Iehoacin is signyfyed
by the lyons whelpes, ∧ by the lyon. He setteth
oute the prosperytye of the cytye of Ierusal&ebar;, that
past, and the myserye thereof that is present.
A Bvt mourne thou for the princes of
Israel, ∧ saye: Wherfore laye thy
mother that lionesse amonge the
lions, ∧ noryshed her yonge ones
amonge the lyons whelpes? One of her
whelpes she brought vp, and it became a ly&obar;
it learned to spoyle, and to deuoure folcke.
The Heathen hearde of him, and toke hym in
their nettes, and brought him in chaynes vnto
the lande of Egipte.
B Now when the damme sawe, that all her
hope and comforth was awaye, she toke another
of her whelpes, and made a lyon of him
which went amonge the lyons, and became a
fearce lion, learned to spoyle and to deuoure
folcke: he destroyed their palaces, and made
their cities waste. In so muche that the whole
lande and euery thinge therin, were vtterlye
desolate, thorow the very voyce of his roarynge.
Then came the Heathen together on euery
side oute of all co&ubar;treyes againste him, layed
their nettes for him, and toke him in their
pitte. So they bounde him with chaynes, and
brought him to the kinge of Babilon: which
put him in preson, that his voyce shoulde nomore
C be hearde vpon the mountaynes of Israel.
As for thy mother, she is like a vyne in
thy bloude, planted by the water syde: her
frutes and bra&ubar;ches are growen out of many
waters, her stalkes were so stronge, that m&ebar;
myght haue made staues thereof for officers:
she grow so hye in her stalckes.
So when men sawe that she exceaded the
-- --
Israel.
heyght and multytude of her braunches, she
was roted out in displeasure, and cast doune
to the grounde. The East wynde dryed vp
her frute, her stronge stalkes were broken of
wythered and brent in the fyre. But now she
is planted in the wildernesse, in a drye and
thurstye grounde. And there is a fyre gone
out of her stalckes, which hath brent vp her
braunches and her frute: so that she hath no
mo stronge stalckes, to be staues for offycers.
This is a pyteous and miserable thynge.
