Open this scene in the reader →5When she saw that she had waited in vain, that her hope was lost, she took one of her cubs and made him a young lion.
6He prowled among the lions; he became a young lion. He learned to tear prey; he devoured men.
7He knew their widows, and he laid waste their cities; the land and its fullness was desolated by the sound of his roaring.
8Then nations from the provinces set themselves against him all around, and they spread their net over him; he was caught in their pit.
9They put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into strongholds, so that his voice might no longer be heard on the mountains of Israel.
