Nahum 2:11-13

^{Tools

Where is the lions’ lair,^(A)
or the feeding ground of the young lions,
where the lion and lioness prowled,
and the lion’s cub,
with nothing to frighten them away?^(B)

The lion mauled whatever its cubs needed
and strangled prey for its lionesses.
It filled up its dens with the kill,
and its lairs with mauled prey.^(C)

Beware, I am against you.^(D)
This is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts.
I will make your chariots go up in smoke^(a)
and the sword will devour your young lions.
I will cut off your prey from the earth,
and the sound of your messengers
will never be heard again.
