Nahum 2:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹ Where is that great city now?
    It was like a den where the lions feed their young.
It was a place where people felt safe,
    like lions in a cave with no one there to harm them.
¹² The lion was able to catch plenty of food
    to feed his cubs and his mate.
He filled his cave with the animals he killed.
    He filled his den with the meat he gathered.

¹³ The Lord All-Powerful says,
    “I am against you, Nineveh.
I will burn your chariots
    and kill your ‘young lions’ in battle.
    You will not hunt anyone on earth again.
People will never again hear bad news
    from your messengers.”
