4 וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ אֵלָיו גּוֹיִם בְּשַׁחְתָּם נִתְפָּשׂ וַיְבִאֻהוּ בַֽחַחִים אֶל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃

And they heard concerning it nations in pit their it was caught and they brought it with hooks to [the] land of Egypt.

5 וַתֵּרֶא כִּי נֽוֹחֲלָה אָבְדָה תִּקְוָתָהּ וַתִּקַּח אֶחָד מִגֻּרֶיהָ כְּפִיר שָׂמָֽתְהוּ׃

And they set on it nations all around from provinces and they spread out over it net their in pit their it was caught.

9 וַֽיִּתְּנֻהוּ בַסּוּגַר בַּֽחַחִים וַיְבִאֻהוּ אֶל־מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל יְבִאֻהוּ בַּמְּצֹדוֹת לְמַעַן לֹא־יִשָּׁמַע קוֹלוֹ עוֹד אֶל־הָרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

Mother your like vine in blood your at water planted fruitful and full of branches it was from waters many.

11 וַיִּֽהְיוּ־לָהּ מַטּוֹת עֹז אֶל־שִׁבְטֵי מֹֽשְׁלִים וַתִּגְבַּהּ קֽוֹמָתוֹ עַל־בֵּין עֲבֹתִים וַיֵּרָא בְגָבְהוֹ בְּרֹב דָּלִיֹּתָֽיו׃

14 וַתֵּצֵא אֵשׁ מִמַּטֵּה בַדֶּיהָ פִּרְיָהּ אָכָלָה וְלֹא־הָיָה בָהּ מַטֵּה־עֹז שֵׁבֶט לִמְשׁוֹל קִינָה הִיא וַתְּהִי לְקִינָֽה׃
