International Standard Version

Nineveh: the Lion’s Den Destroyed

¹¹Where 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?
¹²This 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.
