Nahum 2:11-13

11}

Where is the den of the lions
And the feeding place of the ^(A)young lions,
Where the lion, lioness and lion’s cub prowled,
With nothing to disturb them?

The lion tore enough for his cubs,
^(a)Killed enough for his lionesses,
And filled his lairs with prey
And his dens with torn flesh.

13} “Behold, ^(B)I am against you,” declares the Lord of hosts. “I will ^(C)burn up her chariots in smoke, a sword will devour your young lions; I will ^(D)cut off your prey from the land, and no longer will the voice of your messengers be heard.”
