Chap. XIX.
The Israelites calaminitie is described by two parables, of lions, 10. and
of a vine planted and plucked vp.
1 And thou take vp lamentation vpon the princes of Israel,
2 and thou shalt say: Why lay note thy mother a lionesse
among the lions, in the middes of young lions brought
vp her whelpes?
3 And she brought out one of her young lions,
he became a lion: and he lerned to catch prayes, and to eate
man.
4 And the Gentils heard of him, and not without their
woundes they tooke him: and they brought him in cheynes
into the Land of Ægypt.
5 Who when she saw that she was
weakened, and her expectation was lost, she tooke one of
her young lions, she made him a lion.
6 Who went among the
lions, and became a lion: and he lerned to take praye, and to
deuoure men.
7 He lerned to make widowes, and to bring
their cities into a desert: and the land was made desolate, and
the fulnes therof by the voice of his roaring.
8 And note the
Gentils came together against him on euerie side out of the
prouinces, & they spred their nette vpon him, in their wounds
he was taken.
9 And they put him into a caue, in cheynes
they brought him to the king of Babylon: and they cast him
into prison, that his voice might no more be heard vpon the
mountaines of Israel.
10 noteThy mother as it were a vine in
thy bloud is planted vpon the water: her fruit and her branches
haue growen out of manie waters.
11 And there were
made to her strong roddes for the scepters of them that rule,
and her stature was exalted among the branches: and she saw
her height in the multitude of her branches.
12 And she was
plucked vp in wrath, and cast on the ground: and the burning
winde hath dried vp her fruite: the roddes of her strength are
withered, and dried vp: fire hath eaten her.
13 And now she
is transplanted into the desert, in a land not passable, and drie.
-- --
14 And there came forth fire from the rod of her boughes,
which hath eaten her fruite: and there was not in her a strong
rod, the scepter of rulers. Lamentation it is, and it shal be into
lamentation.
