Nahum 2:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ Where is the lions’ den [^Cthe lion was a symbol of Assyria]
    and the place where they feed their young?
Where did the lion, lioness, and cubs go
    without being afraid?
¹² The lion killed enough for his cubs,
    ·enough [^Land strangled prey] for his ·mate [^Llionesses].
He filled his cave with ·the animals he caught [prey];
    he filled his den with ·meat he had killed [^Ltorn (flesh)].

¹³ “I am against ·you, Nineveh [^Lyou],”
    says the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts].
“I will burn up your chariots in smoke,
    and the sword will ·kill [devour] your young lions.
    I will ·stop you from hunting down others on [^Lcut off your prey from] the earth,
and your messengers’ voices
    will no longer be heard.”
