11 Where is the lions’[a] den
    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 for his mate.
He filled his cave with the animals he caught;
    he filled his den with meat he had killed.

13 “I am against you, Nineveh,”
    says the Lord All-Powerful.
“I will burn up your chariots in smoke,
    and the sword will kill your young lions.
    I will stop you from hunting down others on the earth,
and your messengers’ voices
    will no longer be heard.”
