2 And say, Wherefore lay thy [a]mother as a lioness among the lions? she nourished her young ones among the lion’s whelps,
3 And she brought up one of her whelps, and it became a lion, and it learned to catch the prey, and it devoured men.
4 The [b]nations also heard of him, and he was taken in their nets, and they brought him in chains unto the land of Egypt.
