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.
Two lyons.
1
Moreouer, take thou vp a
lamentation for the princes
of Israel,
2
And say, What is thy
mother? a lyonesse: shee
lay downe among lions, she nourished
her whelpes among yong lions.
3
And shee brought vp one of her
whelps: it became a yong lion, ∧ it learned
to catch the pray, it deuoured men.
4
The nations also heard of him,
hee was taken in their pit, and they
brought him with chaines vnto the
land of note Egypt.
5
Now 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.
6
And he went vp and downe among
the lions, he became a yong lion, and
learned to catch the pray, and deuoured
men.
7
And he knew there note desolate palaces,
and he laied waste their cities, and
the land was desolate, and the fulnesse
thereof by the noise of his roaring.
8
Then the nations set against him
on euery side from the prouinces, and
spread their net ouer him: he was taken
in their pit.
9
And they put him in ward note 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.
10
¶ Thy mother is like a vine note in
thy blood, planted by the waters, she
was fruitfull and full of branches by
reason of many waters,
11
And 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.
12
But she was plucked vp in fury:
she was cast downe to the ground, and
the note East wind dryed vp her fruite: her
strong rods were broken and withered,
the fire consumed them.
13
And now she is planted in the wildernesse,
in a dry and thirsty ground.
14
And 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.
-- --
The rebellion of Israel.
