Nahum 2:10-12
International Standard Version
Nahum 2:10-12
International Standard Version
10 Nineveh[a] is devastated, deserted, and desolate.
Her heart melts, her knees knock.
Every stomach is upset,
every face grows pale.[b]
Nineveh: the Lion’s Den Destroyed
11 Where is this lion’s den?
Where is the place where the young lions fed,
where the lion and its mate walked with their young,
the place where they feared nothing?
12 This lion renders its prey to pieces to feed its whelps,
and strangles enough prey[c] for its mate,
filling its lairs with prey
and its dens with rendered flesh.
