Nahum 2:11-13

Lexham English Bible

¹¹ Where now is the den of the lions
    and the cave of the fierce lions?
There the lioness, the cub, and the lion once prowled,^[a]
    and no one disturbed them.^[b]
12 The lion tore apart enough prey for his cubs,
    he strangled prey for his lioness;
he filled his lair^[c] with prey
    and his den with mangled carcass.
¹³ “Look! I am against you!” declares^[d] Yahweh of hosts.
    “I will burn her chariots with fire;^[e]
        the sword will devour fierce lions.
    I will cut off your prey from the earth;
        the voice of your messengers will no longer be heard.”
