‘You liken H1819 yourself to a young H3715 lion H3715 of the nations H1471,
Yet you are like the monster H8577 in the seas H3220;
And you burst H1518 forth H1518 in your rivers H5104
“This H1931 is a lamentation H7015, and they shall [fn]lament H6969 over it. The daughters H1323 of the nations H1471 shall [fn]lament H6969 over it. Over H5921 Egypt H4714 and over H5921 all H3605 her multitude H1995 they shall [fn]lament H6969 over it,” declares H5002 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068.
“Elam H5867 is there H8033 and all H3605 her multitude H1995 all around H5439 her grave H6900; all H3605 of them slain H2491, fallen H5307 by the sword H2719, who H834 went H3381 down H3381 uncircumcised H6189 to the lower H8482 parts H8482 of the earth H776, who H834 put H5414 their terror H2851 in the land H776 of the living H2416 and bore H5375 their dishonor H3639 with those who went H3381 down H3381 to the pit H953.
“There H8033 also are the [fn]chiefs H5257 of the north H6828, all H3605 of them, and all H3605 the Sidonians H6722, who H834 in spite of the terror H2851 resulting from their might H1369, in H954 shame H954 went H3381 down H3381 with the slain H2491. So they lay H7901 down H7901 uncircumcised H6189 with those slain H2491 by the sword H2719 and bore H5375 their dishonor H3639 with those who go H3381 down H3381 to the pit H953.
