¶ The .xix. Chapter.
¶ The captyuitye of Ieovahaz ∧ of Iehoachin is
signifyed by the lyons whelpes, ∧ by the lyon. He
setteth out þe; prosperitye of the cytie of Ierusalem
that is past, ∧ the myserye therof that is present.
A But thou sonne of man mourne þu;
for the princes of Israel, ∧ saye.
Wherfore laye thy mother þe; lyonesse
amonge the ly&obar;s, ∧ 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
folke. The Heathen herde of him, and
toke him in their nettes, and brought him in
chaynes vnto the lande of Egypte.
B Nowe when the damme sawe, that all her
hope and c&obar;forte was awaye, she toke another
of her whelpes, and made a lyon of him:
which wente amonge the lyons, ∧ became a
fearce lyon: learned to spoyle and to deuoure
folcke: he destroyed their palaces, and made
their cyties waste. In so moch that þe; whole
lande ∧ euery thinge therin, were vtterly desolate,
thorow þe; very voyce of his roaringe.
Then came the Heathen together on euery
syde oute of all countrees agaynst hym,
layed their nettes for hym, and toke hym in
their pytte. noteSo they bo&ubar;de him with chaynes,
and brought him to the kyng of Babylon:
which put him in preson, that his voyce
shulde nomore be herde vpon the mountaynes
of Israel.
C As for thy mother, she is lyke
a vyne in thy bloude, planted by the water
syde: her frutes and bra&ubar;ches are grow&ebar; out
of many waters, her stalkes were so str&obar;ge,
that m&ebar; myght haue made staues therof for
officers: she grewe so hye in her stalkes.
So whan men sawe that she exceaded she
heygth ∧ multitude of her bra&ubar;ches, she was
roted out in displeasure, and cast downe to þe;
gro&ubar;de The East winde dryed vp her frute,
her stronge stalkes were brok&ebar; of, withered
and brent in the fyre. But now she is pl&abar;ted
in the wyldernesse, in a drye ∧ thurstye grounde.
And there is a fyre gone out of her stalckes,
which hath brent vp her bra&ubar;ches and
her frute: so that she hath no mo str&obar;ge stalckes,
to be staues for offycers. This is a pyteous
and miserable thinge.
