Nahum 2:11-13
The Voice
11 Where now is Nineveh’s famous and deadly lion’s den?
The place where they nourish their young lions into killing machines?
The place where the lion and the lioness go, along with their cubs, to feed on victims?
The place where they had nothing to fear?
12 The lion always kills enough for his cubs
and strangles the prey for his mate,
Filling up the lair with the blood and bones and flesh of its kill
and his dens with the fallen prey.
13 Eternal One: I stand against you, Nineveh!
I will command My heavenly army to burn up your chariots till the smoke rises up
And to consume your young lions with the sword.
I will leave nothing in the land to sustain you.
The voice of your messengers will never again be heard.
