They brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt. 5 “‘When she realized that she waited in vain, her hope was lost.

He learned to tear prey; he devoured people. 7 He broke down their strongholds and devastated their cities. The land and everything in it was frightened at the sound of his roaring. 8 The nations– the surrounding regions– attacked him. They threw their net over him; he was caught in their pit. 9 They put him in a collar with hooks; they brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him to prison so that his voice would not be heard any longer on the mountains of Israel. 10 “‘Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard, planted by water. It was fruitful and full of branches because it was well-watered. 11 Its boughs were strong, fit for rulers’ scepters; it reached up into the clouds. It stood out because of its height and its many branches. 12 But it was plucked up in anger; it was thrown down to the ground. The east wind dried up its fruit; its strong branches broke off and withered– a fire consumed them. 13 Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land. 14 A fire has gone out from its branch; it has consumed its shoot and its fruit. No strong branch was left in it, nor a scepter to rule.’ This is a lament song, and has become a lament song.”
