Nahum 2:9-11
New Century Version
9 Take the silver!
Take the gold!
There is no end to the treasure—
piles of wealth of every kind.
10 Nineveh is robbed, ruined, and destroyed.
The people lose their courage, and their knees knock.
Stomachs ache, and everyone’s face grows pale.
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?

Nahum 2:9-11
New International Version
9 Plunder the silver!
Plunder the gold!
The supply is endless,
the wealth from all its treasures!
10 She is pillaged, plundered, stripped!
Hearts melt,(A) knees give way,
bodies tremble, every face grows pale.(B)
11 Where now is the lions’ den,(C)
the place where they fed their young,
where the lion and lioness went,
and the cubs, with nothing to fear?
