Καὶ σὺ λάβε θρῆνον ἐπὶ τὸν ἄρχοντα τοῦ Ἰσραήλ,

καὶ ἐρεῖς Τί ἡ μήτηρ σου σκύμνος· ἐν μέσῳ λεόντων ἐγενήθη, ἐν μέσῳ λεόντων ἐπλήθυνεν σκύμνους αὐτῆς.

καὶ ἀπεπήδησεν εἷς τῶν σκύμνων αὐτῆς, λέων ἐγένετο, καὶ ἔμαθεν τοῦ ἁρπάζειν ἁρπάγματα, ἀνθρώπους ἔφαγεν.

καὶ ἤκουσαν κατʼ αὐτοῦ ἔθνη, ἐν τῇ διαφθορᾷ αὐτῶν συνελήμφθη, καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν ἐν κημῷ εἰς γῆν Αἰγύπτου.

καὶ ἴδεν ὅτι ἀπῶσται ἀπʼ αὐτῆς, ἀνώλετο ἡ ὑπόστασις αὐτῆς· καὶ ἔλαβεν ἄλλον ἐκ τῶν σκύμνων αὐτῆς, λέοντα ἔταξεν αὐτόν.

καὶ ἀνεστρέφετο ἐν μέσῳ λεόντων, λέων ἐγένετο, καὶ ἔμαθεν ἁρπάζειν ἁρπάγματα, ἀνθρώπους ἔφαγεν·

καὶ ἐνέμετο τῷ θράσει αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν ἐξηρήμωσεν, καὶ ἠφάνισεν γῆν καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς ¹² ἀπὸ φωνῆς ὠρύματος αὐτοῦ.

καὶ ἔδωκαν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἔθνη ἐκ χωρῶν ³ κυκλόθεν, καὶ ἐξεπέτασαν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν δίκτυα αὐτῶν, ἐν διαφθορᾷ αὐτῶν συνελήμφθη·

καὶ ἔθεντο αὐτὸν ἐν κημῷ καὶ ἐν γαλεάγρε, ἦυλθεν πρὸς βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς φυλακήν, ὅπως μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἡ φωνὴ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.

Ἡ μήτηρ σου ὡς ἄμπελος καὶ ὡς ἄνθος ἐν ῥόᾳ ἐν ὕδατι πεφυτευμένη, ὁ καρπὸς αὐτῆς καὶ ὁ βλαστὸς αὐτῆς ἐγένετο ἐξ ὕδατος πολλοὕ.

καὶ ἐγένετο αὕτη ῥάβδος ἐπὶ φυλὴν ἡγουμένων, καὶ ὑψώθη τῷ μεγέθει αὐτῆς ἐν μέσῳ στελεχῶν, καὶ ἴδεν τὸ μέγεθος αὐτῆς ἐν πλήθει κλημάτων αὐτῆς.

καὶ κατεκλάσθη ἐν θυμῷ, ἐπὶ γῆν ἐρρίφη, καὶ ἄνεμος ὁ καύσων ἐξήρανεν τὰ ἐκλεκτὰ αὐτῆς· ἐξεδικήθησαν, καὶ ἐξηράνθη ἡ ῥάβδος ἰσχύος αὐτῆς, πῦρ ἀνήλωσεν αὐτὴν.

καὶ νῦν πεφύτευκαν αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ἐν γῇ ἀνύδρῳ.

καὶ ἐξῆλθεν πῦρ ἐκ ῥάβδου ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτῆς καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτήν, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἐν αὐτῇ ῥάβδος ἰσχύος· φυλὴ εἰς παραβολὴν θρήνου ἐστίν, καὶ ἔσται εἰςθρῆνον.

Ezekiel Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 19 focus

Moreover, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

and say, What was your mother? A lioness: she couched among lions, in the midst of the young lions she nourished her whelps.

She brought up one of her whelps: he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.

The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit; and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.

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.

He went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.

He knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fullness of it, because of the noise of his roaring.

Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces; and they spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit.

They put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into strongholds, that his voice should no more be heard on the mountains of Israel.

Your mother was like a vine, in your blood, planted by the waters: it was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.

It had strong rods for the scepters of those who bore rule, and their stature was exalted among the thick boughs, and they were seen in their height with the multitude of their branches.

But it was plucked up in fury, it was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit: its strong rods were broken off and withered; the fire consumed them.

Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.

Fire is gone out of the rods of its branches, it has devoured its fruit, so that there is in it no strong rod to be a scepter to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
