When she saw, as she waited,
That her hope was lost,
She took [a]another of her cubs
And made (A)him a young lion.
And he (B)walked about among the lions,
He became a young lion;
He learned to tear his prey;
He devoured people.
He [b]destroyed their [c]palaces
And laid waste their cities;
And the land and its fullness were appalled
Because of the sound of his roaring.
