Nahum 2:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Where is the [a]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.
13 Behold, I come unto thee saith the Lord of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the [b]smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions, and I will cut off thy spoil from the earth, and the voice of thy [c]messengers shall no more be heard.
