New American Standard Bible Lament for the Princes of Israel 1As for you, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel
2and say,
3When she brought up one of her cubs,
4Then nations heard about him;
5When she saw, as she waited,
6And he walked about among the lions;
7He destroyed their fortified towers
8Then nations set against him
9They put him in a cage with hooks
10Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard,
11And it had strong branches fit for scepters of rulers,
12But it was plucked up in fury;
13And now it is planted in the wilderness,
14And fire has gone out from its branch; New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif. All rights reserved. For Permission to Quote Information visit http://www.lockman.org Bible Hub |
