1	Moreover take thou up# a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
			2	And say# , What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down# among lions, she nourished# her whelps among young lions.
			3	And she brought up# one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned# to catch# the prey; it devoured# men.
			4	The nations also heard# of him; he was taken# in their pit, and they brought# him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
			5	Now when she saw# that she had waited# , and her hope was lost# , then she took# another of her whelps, and made# him a young lion.
			6	And he went up and down# among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned# to catch# the prey, and devoured# men.
			7	And he knew# their desolate palaces, and he laid waste# their cities; and the land was desolate# , and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring. [their desolate...: or, their widows] [the fulness...: or, all it containeth]
			8	Then the nations set# against him on every side from the provinces, and spread# their net over him: he was taken# in their pit.
			9	And they put# him in ward in chains, and brought# him to the king of Babylon: they brought# him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard# upon the mountains of Israel. [in chains: or, in hooks]
			10	Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood# # , planted# by the waters: she was fruitful# and full of branches by reason of many waters. [in...: or, in thy quietness, or, in thy likeness]
			11	And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule# , and her stature was exalted# among the thick branches, and she appeared# in her height with the multitude of her branches.
			12	But she was plucked up# in fury, she was cast down# to the ground, and the east wind dried up# her fruit: her strong rods were broken# and withered# ; the fire consumed# them.
			13	And now she is planted# in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
			14	And fire is gone out# of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured# her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule# . This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
