11 What became of the lions’ den,
    the cave[a] of the young lions,
where the lion goes,
    and the lion’s cubs, with no one to disturb them?
12 The lion has torn enough for his whelps
    and strangled prey for his lionesses;
he has filled his caves with prey
    and his dens with torn flesh.

13 See, I am against you, says the Lord of hosts, and I will burn your[b] chariots in smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions; I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers shall be heard no more.
