1 Et toi, prononce une complainte sur les princes d’Israël,

2 et dis: Ta mère, qu’était-ce? Une lionne. Elle était couchée parmi les lions; C’est au milieu des lionceaux Qu’elle a élevé ses petits.

3 Elle éleva l’un de ses petits, Qui devint un jeune lion, Et qui apprit à déchirer sa proie; Il dévora des hommes.

4 Les nations entendirent parler de lui, Et il fut pris dans leur fosse; Elles mirent une boucle à ses narines et l’emmenèrent Dans le pays d’Égypte.
