“The Jerusalem princes
Are within it
Like a roaring lion
Tearing its prey.
They have devoured
Human lives.
They have taken
Treasures.
They have taken
Precious things.
They have made
Many widows
Within it.”
The princes within the city of Jerusalem were like roaring lions tearing into their prey. They devoured human lives. They stole treasure and precious things. They killed people, so that there many more widows in Jerusalem.
