King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Moreover take thou up[H859] [H5375] a lamentation[H7015] for[H413] the princes[H5387] of Israel,[H3478]

2. And say,[H559] What[H4100] is thy mother?[H517] A lioness:[H3833] she lay down[H7257] among[H996] lions,[H738] she nourished[H7235] her whelps[H1482] among[H8432] young lions.[H3715]

3. And she brought up[H5927] one[H259] of her whelps:[H4480] [H1482] it became[H1961] a young lion,[H3715] and it learned[H3925] to catch[H2963] the prey;[H2964] it devoured[H398] men.[H120]

4. The nations[H1471] also heard[H8085] of[H413] him; he was taken[H8610] in their pit,[H7845] and they brought[H935] him with chains[H2397] unto[H413] the land[H776] of Egypt.[H4714]

5. Now when she saw[H7200] that[H3588] she had waited,[H3176] and her hope[H8615] was lost,[H6] then she took[H3947] another[H259] of her whelps,[H4480] [H1482] and made[H7760] him a young lion.[H3715]

6. And he went up and down[H1980] among[H8432] the lions,[H738] he became[H1961] a young lion,[H3715] and learned[H3925] to catch[H2963] the prey,[H2964] and devoured[H398] men.[H120]

7. And he knew[H3045] their desolate palaces,[H759] and he laid waste[H2717] their cities;[H5892] and the land[H776] was desolate,[H3456] and the fullness[H4393] thereof, by the noise[H4480] [H6963] of his roaring.[H7581]

8. Then the nations[H1471] set[H5414] against[H5921] him on every side[H5439] from the provinces,[H4480] [H4082] and spread[H6566] their net[H7568] over[H5921] him: he was taken[H8610] in their pit.[H7845]

9. And they put[H5414] him in ward[H5474] in chains,[H2397] and brought[H935] him to[H413] the king[H4428] of Babylon:[H894] they brought[H935] him into holds,[H4679] that[H4616] his voice[H6963] should no[H3808] more[H5750] be heard[H8085] upon[H413] the mountains[H2022] of Israel.[H3478]

10. Thy mother[H517] is like a vine[H1612] in thy blood,[H1818] planted[H8362] by[H5921] the waters:[H4325] she was[H1961] fruitful[H6509] and full of branches[H6058] by reason of many[H7227] waters.[H4480] [H4325]

11. And she had[H1961] strong[H5797] rods[H4294] for[H413] the scepters[H7626] of them that bore rule,[H4910] and her stature[H6967] was exalted[H1361] among[H5921] [H996] the thick branches,[H5688] and she appeared[H7200] in her height[H1363] with the multitude[H7230] of her branches.[H1808]

12. But she was plucked up[H5428] in fury,[H2534] she was cast down[H7993] to the ground,[H776] and the east[H6921] wind[H7307] dried up[H3001] her fruit:[H6529] her strong[H5797] rods[H4294] were broken[H6561] and withered;[H3001] the fire[H784] consumed[H398] them.

13. And now[H6258] she is planted[H8362] in the wilderness,[H4057] in a dry[H6723] and thirsty[H6772] ground.[H776]

14. And fire[H784] is gone out[H3318] of a rod[H4480] [H4294] of her branches,[H905] which hath devoured[H398] her fruit,[H6529] so that she hath[H1961] no[H3808] strong[H5797] rod[H4294] to be a scepter[H7626] to rule.[H4910] This[H1931] is a lamentation,[H7015] and shall be[H1961] for a lamentation.[H7015]
