Chapter 19.

00:03.780 --> 00:09.160
Moreover, take thou up a lamentation for
the princes of Israel, and say,

00:09.880 --> 00:10.700
What is thy mother?

00:11.220 --> 00:11.940
A lioness.

00:12.320 --> 00:13.800
She lay down among lions.

00:14.180 --> 00:16.660
She nourished her whelps among young
lions.

00:16.940 --> 00:19.500
And she brought up one of her whelps.

00:19.860 --> 00:23.280
It became a young lion, and it learned to
catch the prey.

00:23.540 --> 00:24.720
It devoured men.

00:25.300 --> 00:27.080
The nations also heard of him.

00:27.080 --> 00:29.080
He was taken in their pit.

00:29.720 --> 00:32.160
And they brought him with chains unto the
land of Egypt.

00:32.820 --> 00:37.020
Now when she saw that she had waited,
and her hope was lost, then she took

00:37.020 --> 00:39.880
another of her whelps, and made him a
young lion.

00:40.260 --> 00:42.580
And he went up and down among the lions.

00:42.940 --> 00:47.280
He became a young lion, and learned to
catch the prey, and devoured men.

00:47.880 --> 00:49.600
And he knew their desolate palaces.

00:50.160 --> 00:54.160
And he laid waste their cities,
and the land was desolate, and the

00:54.160 --> 00:56.500
fullness thereof by the noise of his
roaring.

00:57.380 --> 01:02.260
Then the nations set against him on every
side from the provinces, and spread their

01:02.260 --> 01:03.020
net over him.

01:03.480 --> 01:05.120
He was taken in their pit.

01:05.820 --> 01:10.240
And they put him in ward in chains,
and brought him to the king of Babylon.

01:10.900 --> 01:14.900
They brought him into holds, that his
voice should no more be heard upon the

01:14.900 --> 01:15.680
mountains of Israel.

01:16.880 --> 01:19.500
Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood.

01:19.500 --> 01:24.620
Planted by the waters she was fruitful,
and full of branches by reason of many

01:24.620 --> 01:25.060
waters.

01:25.980 --> 01:29.660
And she had strong rods for the scepters
of them that bear rule.

01:30.000 --> 01:32.560
And her stature was exalted among the
thick branches.

01:33.160 --> 01:36.300
And she appeared in her height with the
multitude of her branches.

01:37.600 --> 01:39.320
But she was plucked up in fury.

01:40.020 --> 01:41.620
She was cast down to the ground.

01:42.080 --> 01:44.100
And the east wind dried up her fruit.

01:44.360 --> 01:46.660
Her strong rods were broken and withered.

01:46.980 --> 01:48.340
The fire consumed them.

01:48.340 --> 01:53.000
And now she is planted in the wilderness,
in a dry and thirsty ground.

01:53.700 --> 01:58.300
And fire is gone out of a rod of her
branches, which hath devoured her fruit,

01:58.700 --> 02:01.640
so that she hath no strong rod to be a
scepter to rule.

02:02.480 --> 02:06.360
This is a lamentation, and shall be for a
lamentation.
