Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.
And she brought up one of her whelps. He became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey. He devoured men.
Judah is a lion's whelp. From the prey, my son, thou have gone up. He stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as a lioness, who shall rouse him up?
Hushai said moreover, Thou know thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field. And thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
The nations also heard of him. He was taken in their pit, and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.
And he went up and down among the lions. He became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey. He devoured men.
