Nahum 2:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 [a]She is empty and void and waste, and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and sorrow is in all loins, and the faces [b]of them all gather blackness.
11 Where is the [c]dwelling of the lions, and the pasture of the lion’s whelps? where the lion and the lioness waked, and the lion’s whelp, and none made them afraid.
12 The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and worried for his lioness, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with spoil.
