Nahum 2:11-12
English Standard Version
11 Where is the lions' den,
the feeding place of (A)the young lions,
where the lion and lioness went,
where his cubs were, with (B)none to disturb?
12 (C)The lion tore enough for his cubs
and (D)strangled prey for his lionesses;
he filled his caves with prey
and his dens with torn flesh.
Nahum 2:11-12
International Standard Version
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[a] for its mate,
filling its lairs with prey
and its dens with rendered flesh.
